This is a good referance book and I am very pleased with it, the only bad point for me is it doesn’t have any european versions and as I live in the uk there are some dolls I still couldn’t identify. Don’t let that put you off though It is a super book to own for all barbie fans ,everything is easy to find and has super pictures, it also tells you the clothes and accesiories that came with each doll.
