Since I have Jim's previous 'Makeover Books', and got so much from them (both ideas for creating, and tips on 'how-to'), I had to get this one! The doll artists are so creative, and the book is filled with great pictures of how others see Barbie. To me, a REAL bonus was the section on how to create different hair-dos. As with Jim's other books, there are detailed explanations and PHOTOS (no diagrams, thank heaven) which take you step by step thru the process. EXCELLENT!!

All three of Jim Faraone's books have inspired hundreds of doll artists, and have become indispensible to good makeover artists. This third book features new doll artists and has an outstanding how-to-do- it section on hairstyling! I have all three books and love them!

Great if you need inspiration but it's short on how tos. Some of the artists featured here have created true masterpieces. I just wish there was more on how to create your own.

honestly, i was looking for a book on how to do restorations on vintage barbie dolls, and this is just not the book for it! there is one small section in the very end of the book that tells how to do some hair makeovers, but that's it. it's more a book on "famous" artists that have done fashion doll makeovers and their stories. if you're looking for a tutorial on doll restoration, look online. you'll find more information there.

I have book I, II and III. There is so much information! I have learned how to clean these dolls and clean and style their hair. I plan on doing more in the future and everything I need is in this series.
