Nice pictures, but there are better ones,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coffee With Barbie Doll (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
The pictures are nice, and funny, mine came with a defect that made me loose on 20 of them, and I am sad. Gives you nice ideas to display your dolls, but I think the pictures could have been a little better, don't know exactly why or how. I would buy it again. There is this one cute picture with a fashion queen that has her legs up in the air that says something like " 42 more and I can then eat the brownie I baked this morning" that made me laugh! :-)
