Barbie Collectors will love this one!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collectibly Yours Barbie Doll 1980-1990 (Hardcover)
Chock full of full-color photos, descriptions and values, this latest book from Hobby House Press is a great reference for any Barbie collector. Covering the years 1980-1990, author Margo Rana has described each doll in detail, depicting each with clear color photos, often several to a page. Boxes and fashions are also pictured. This is a book no serious Barbie collector will want to be without.

Brilliant Barbies!,

This review is from: Collectibly Yours Barbie Doll 1980-1990 (Hardcover)
This book has been wonderful for my sister and I who have been struggling to identify all the Barbies we used to own through the 1980's. It provides wonderful pictures and information on Barbie dolls released during that period.
Definitely money well spent!
