Since buying this book, I have referred to it many times. If you are a Barbie collector or trader this book would be very helful. I use it everyday for just that reason. The pictures in the front are great. The large price guide section is as well. Not only vintage & comtemporary Barbie's but many accessories & other items. I was happy to find a section on Gene dolls, which I am just becoming familiar with. Very happy with this book purchase.
