This book is a thorough and complete encyclopedia, featuring every department store special, every store promotional doll, and every Barbie doll and fashion retail exclusive released since 1972. It's a permanent visual record of all of the elusive offerings from over three decades and over 100 retailers. No other book on collectible dolls has ever been as ambitious in its scope nor as complete in supplying photos, information, and current values.
Reader Reviews
Having read the other collector's encyclopedia's written by this author, this one is also a beautiful collection of the Barbie doll's one may want to know about and/or collect. The pictures are well done and the descriptions very clear and understandable. At a book store, before even my first purchase of these books, I skimmed other books stating they had what I was looking for, but none compared to Michael J. Augustyniak's. Through his books, I have been able to purchase Barbies at what I know is a fair and good price for my own collection. Very good resource book. Highly recommended.
