Review Update:I received a comment asking for details regarding the errors I found. I thought it might be more useful to note a few of them within my review. Hopefully they will illustrate my issues with the book.The reference material is poor. Problems range from the captions for the photos not matching the detailed description of the same doll (so which is correct?) to too many omissions. For example, if a doll comes with three wigs, why is only one pictured? When there isn't even a description of the wig styles, how is the collector to know what they are looking for or if what they are buying is legitimate and complete?One photograph shows a doll that was originally released with three wigs and some other unique accessories. The photograph doesn't include the wigs or accessories, and neither the caption or description mentions the omitted items. How is the collector to know what is missing, or if attempting to buy the doll, that the included items are the correct pieces?Yet another doll was made in a wig version -- a fact not mentioned anywhere in the doll's description. So, if a collector sees that doll at a show they will have no idea what it is or if the description the dealer is presenting is accurate.The description for a common vintage doll notes a valuable variation but no picture is included to help the collector identify the doll.One of the most important skills a collector can learn is the ability to properly differentiate between the various ponytail Barbie dolls issued. In this book, ignoring errors, the material is only partially there.
