Customer Reviews

Easy to understand for the begining collector as I am!

Recently I purchased this book and am amazed at all of the information packed into it. I called a seasoned collector friend and looked up a doll she purchased and was able to quote the estimated price with ease. This book explains the history of the Barbie doll and shows wonderful pictures of each era. It has a whole chapter of Fun Facts and you can learn a lot in a short time about collecting and what to look for. Was a great buy and comes highly recommended!

wonderful book for curious girls

My 8 year old daughter loves Barbies and she loves encyclopedias about everything that she loves...so this book has been well loved! Great pictures. Easy to read and easy to take with us in the car or on trips. Fun to share with friends.

Perfect Barbie guide

According to my little friend who received this guide as a gift, It is easy to understand, teaches you some very interesting Barbie history, and show great photos of early Barbie, how they progress and their value. She highly reccommends it.

Great things come in small packages

What a wonderful book! The Warman's Barbie Doll Field Guide is packed with useful information and great color photographs. And all at a super affordable price. I'm impressed. The book is designed as a take-along pocket guide, yet it's amazingly complete and thorough. It covers six decades of Barbie dolls, provides several hundred color photographs, a history of Barbie, critical identification information, -- including how to identify Barbie No. 1 -- fashion sets, designer dolls and a price guide to more than 1,500 dolls. It's perfect for a gift or for yourself, or even as a gift for yourself. I have several Barbie books on my shelves, and that's where they stay. But this little dynamo is never going to leave my side.
