Extremely Valuable Information!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Doll Fashion Anthology & Price Guide - 6th Edition (Paperback)
Glen's knowledge of Barbie and other fashion dolls is superb! This book includes otherwise rare information on all the non-Barbie fashion dolls as well, such as Kenner's Darci, Hasbro's Jem, Creata Lace, the Littlechap family, Tressy, and many more.This book is priceless if you are interested in more than just Barbie . . . and his Barbie information is also great. This book has it all!

author's comments,
By A Glenn Mandeville (Bordentown, New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doll Fashion Anthology & Price Guide - 6th Edition (Paperback)
I consider this book a three dimensional scrapbook of life from the late 1950s to the present as seen through pop culture, fashion, music, entertainment and of course, fashion dolls. While Barbie doll was the undisputed "Queen of the Prom" other dolls portrayed a lifestyle that will never be forgotten. Relive the past or greet it for the first time! Enjoy! A. Glenn Mandeville
