The co-owner of JOE's, a thriving mail order business that sells new and vintage Barbie dolls, clothing, and accessories, Joe co-produces "The Joe & Marl Shows-Barbie Goes to..", a series of All-Barbie doll shows and sales held throughout the country. He co-starred with Leeza Gibbons in Mattel's "Barbie as Scarlett O'Hara" infomercial, and has been seen on "The CBS Morning News," "Leeza," "Personal FX," and many U.S. and European documentaries and newscasts about Barbie.

Reader Reviews
This book is as close to being perfect as any can get in the Barbie world. Not only is it informative and well-written, it's fun too! Each outfit is explained in detail, with each part listed, along with what parts may be more difficult to find, any variations in the outfit, etc. All of these items, where possible, are photographed flat and clearly so you can see each item separately and know what each thing is. Then, another photograph is taken on the doll, in a fun setting that usually goes with the name of the outfit somehow, so you can actually see how the outfit looks on a doll, something which I think is really important. The photographs are great pretty much right across the board. The book is well-written, with a great sense of humour. All in all, you can't go wrong if you're into Francie and buy this book!
