3.0 out of 5 stars Coverage rather sparce, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Barbie Boom: Identification and Values (Paperback)

The title was a little misleading..I was expecting a price guide from 1986 to 1999 but it only covers a few dolls and a lot of international makers..which we will see only a few in the US..The pictures took up most of the content and very little on the actual price guide...Disapointing to say the very least..about 500 pictures and not much else...
