My 4 1/2 year-old just loves everything about Barbie. Although I am not a Barbie nut, I truly appreciated this book and highly recommend it for parents and children alike.

I enjoyed this book particularly because it isn't kitsch, nor is it over-the-top Barbie. It is easy to read and browse thru, even for my young daughter. The chapters make sense and give a good overview of all of the Barbie "periods", including all of the fancy, funky and frilly outfits. The layouts are great (dare I say intelligent), and the photos chronicle a good history of Barbie and friends. I took a walk down memory lane, finding some of the Barbies and Francines that I owned.

This is the first Barbie book I've seen (and I've seen many) that shows the old "Barbie Country Camper" and the great 70's puffy plastic houses in all their glory.

This is a must for anyone remotely interested in Barbie.

My kids like it. It's got excellent layout, clear crisp pics, but isn't comprehensive. Great to look through, and point to - look, I had that one when I was a kid..... (YOU were a KID?) I don't use it with my collection, but I am glad I bought it - it makes a pleasent just for fun.

This beautiful book is a must-have for any girl who loves Barbies. It is a children's book and is a visual delight...not a dry guide for adult collectors. The pictures are crisp and labeled, as the other DK books are; "corduroy hat" and "red patent leather pumps," etc. A huge hit with my 9-year old niece.

This book is really nice, the pictures are gorgeous, and it has some index on Barbie dolls by year, also Barbie's friends. Not so much on collectible dolls, but there are some dolls with gorgeous pics, some are different from the publish pics and a few are the same. Nice information for dolls and furniture. Great book! The cover is stunning!!!!

I love this book. This is the neatest book in the world. It has almost every Barbie I have in there. My favorite Barbie was the Olympic P.J. I use it to help me surf on Ebay. If you like Barbies, get this book now!

When I ordered this I thought I was ordering the actual book, I had simply switched from hardcover to paperback, and I didn't realize that it was actually a completely different book until later when I read the word sticker. The book itself is great, it arrived in good condition and very quickly, and my girls love it. I'm not sure how well the stickers are going to be shared with four of them, but I guess we'll work it out. I did go back online later and order the book I had originally intended to get, and my grand total was still low enough that I am pleased.

So, for the true review, I was thrilled with the quality of the product and the speed of delivery. I was not thrilled that when I clicked the paperback tab before ordering I ended up with a completely different book instead of a paperback version of the book I was looking at, but I don't think that's the fault of the seller, I think that is an Amazon.com glitch.

My daughter loves this book, and we are on our 3rd copy because she has worn it out taking it on trips, in the car, etc. Her favorite part is the international dolls section, where she enjoys looking at national costumes from around the world. The layout and photos are very well-done, and it brings me back to my childhood as well!

It is a really neat book to see barbie over the years. Unfortunately ours came badly banged up by the postal service. The seller was very curtious & gave me a refund. The book content is really neat.
