This book has a couple of pictures in the front. And the rest are complete and extense lists (vintage & modern dolls and accesories). But the prices are usually not accurate. And to be honest there is no actual good price list to apply to the second market barbie. You pay what you want and can afford. So, it is completely useless to have this book, since 1- It only contains names (no pictures) so it is hard to identify something unless it is NRFB - (in which case you don't need to because it says what it is on the box). 2- The prices are unrealistic.

This book was just not accurate in its pricing. I have a substantial collection and the price are generally exaggerated making the novice think they'd actually get some of those prices, which in most cases you wouldn't. It was unclear to me whether these were prices to expect at auction or prices to insure the dolls. I laughed out loud when I saw that he valued dream date barbie higher than dream date PJ. In the real world PJ gets more, so I'd like to know where this guy did his research. On the upside it did have quite a good list of dolls so if were so inclined you could see how many different themes of dolls are out there but all in all I'd say don't waste your money.

I had a huge box of Barbies from various years. This book helped to identify them. I also recommend a fun read about dolls, Dolls Aren't Just for Kids.
