4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for beginers and novice sellers, November 16, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Collector's Compass: Barbie (r) Doll (Paperback)
This is a great book for those that are looking to collect barbie and don't know how to judge a doll or what problems they might have. They will not have to learn with an expensive horrible experience. IT is good for new sellers because it presents them with all the questions that they will have to answer. AND finally tells them that GREEN EAR is not REALLY completely fixable and that this decreases the value of the doll! A mistake many novice sellers commit. Writing on their description "green ear, but I have heard it can be fixed"....

Extremely basic information, May 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Collector's Compass: Barbie (r) Doll (Paperback)
I checked this book out of the library and that was a relief, because I did not waste $12.95. I found nothing new or special in this book. There are plenty of other Barbie books out there that may be a bit more expensive but you will get your money's worth if you spend an extra $10-15 on one of them. There is no price guide, no list of the vintage outfits available, and only 16 pages of color photos. (16 pages isn't very impressive when you've seen Barbie books that contain hundreds and hundreds of color photos.) I gave this book 2 stars because it's fairly inexpensive and it could be helpful to a complete novice who has never read _anything_ about Barbie collecting. There are still better, more informative options for absolute beginners. A lot of the advice in here is generic common sense and BASIC information that could apply to any collectible hobby.
