Product Description
Although many identification and reference books have been written about Barbie dolls, most of them are very difficult to search for basic information. Since the first edition of The Barbie Doll Years, Patrick and Joyce Olds have made cataloging a collection a snap. Every Barbie doll, her friends, and their accessories are listed alphabetically by name and by year, making it possible to locate a specific doll even if you only know one of these details. Over 30,000 listings are at your fingertips, featured in a way that makes identification of one or 100 dolls easy. Cases, furniture, houses, paper dolls, childrens clothes, jewelry, games, and more are included, as well as over 100 gorgeous full-color photographs of vintage Barbie dolls. To make it a complete reference, current market values based on actual selling prices throughout the country are provided. This essential guide is a must for all Barbie doll collectors and dealers.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Barbie Doll Years: A Comprehensive Listing & Value Guide of Dolls & Accessories (Barbie Doll Years, 3rd ed) (Paperback)
This is a great reference for the Barbie collector. The main part of the book is a listing including number issued, date, value and source store (where applicable) for each item issued from 1959-1998. Items listed include Barbie and Ken dolls, friends (Francie, Skipper, etc.) dolls, doll outfits, accessories and Barbie collectibles. Most items are listed in alphabetical, stock # and year order. There are nearly 50 pages of color photos of a wide variety of Barbies, friends and accessories. I especially enjoyed the section on Enesco ceramic collectibles. This is the best guide to Barbie collectibles that I have seen. The organization and multiple listings make everything easy to find and a pleasure to use.
