4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice book, November 9, 2002
This review is from: The Barbie Closet: Price Guide for Barbie & Friends Fashions and Accessories, 1959-1970 (Hardcover)
OK, if you have: the 2 volumes of Sarah Eames and the Ultimate Barbie Book, then you don't need this book. It is nice in a way that fashions are presented on dolls and the dolls are presented by themeselves and described. Also the prices for the individual items are listed (and they are close to ebay prices / and prices I have heard from other collectors). Yet like the other buyer said close ups are blurry and some fashions have no pictures. I didn't find the picture's backgrounds distracting, but that is a matter of opinion. If you have the books listed above don't waste the money this one is worth. I have found several errors, mostly on the names and some acceosries, but nothing really big. I found it to be nice and I am glad I bought it, but if you are tight on money and you just want a good, easy, compact, fast, reference book get the other 3 better, with the money left you can buy some barbies!

I needed this book., May 31, 2000

This review is from: The Barbie Closet: Price Guide for Barbie & Friends Fashions and Accessories, 1959-1970 (Hardcover)
I'm one of those collectors with every Barbie book possible. Until the introduction of The Barbie Closet, I was always fumbling through all my books to locate information, and prices on vintage Barbie dolls, and that of her fashions and accessories. Lugging a half a dozen books to shows and conventions was always such a pain. Not any more though. Because now, all I have to carry is The Barbie Closet. This book is my Barbie bible. I carry it to Barbie shows, club meetings, and conventions. It has been such a help to me in quickly identifing information, and prices. I love this book, and I love that it has prices for all the little accessories as well as for the clothing, and dolls. This book has been a tremendous help to me.

This review is from: The Barbie Closet: Price Guide for Barbie & Friends Fashions and Accessories, 1959-1970 (Hardcover)
I was astounded at all the helpful information in this book. If you are looking for a guide loaded with prices, facts, and great photos for identification of Barbie, her family, friends, clothing, and fashion accessories you just have to get The Barbie Closet. I was also surprised to see that all the accessories,clothing, and dolls are individually priced. This is such a great help to collectors. Never removed from box, and mint and complete prices have also been included. This book has so much helpful information for collectors. This is by far the best Barbie book I have in my extensive library of Barbie books. I refer to it all the time. I also appreciate the author including such great photos to aid in identification. The Barbie Closet has all the right ingredients needed to make a great guide for collectors, and the only Barbie price guide of its kind.
