This is a broad and comprehensive ID and value guide that tells everything there is to know about Skipper! It traces her fashions from her 1964 debut to the year that Mattel ceased production on her,including items only sold in Europe. The eye-popping photos are a valuable tool for anyone buying or selling Skipper items on eBay! Each photo is meticulously put together and includes accessories and even fabric variations. I was looking for something to identify the extra clothing I sometimes end up with after winning a Barbie auction. I really had no idea how vast the Skipper world was! This book does a marvelous job of informing the reader about clone Skipper,vinyl products, furniture and structures. Playsets, paper dolls and puzzles: it's all here! There's a whole chapter on gift sets! In addition to all that there is much information on Tutti and Todd (the other siblings in the Barbie family). This is the ONLY book I could find about Skipper on eBay and I can understand why: no one could ever top this masterpiece! And, happy day! There is a wonderful index of fashion titles to make it easier to look up something quickly! All in all I commend the work of the three collectors extraordinaire who wrote this book. They've converted me into a Skipper collector too!Read full review
Excellent for identifying your Tutti and Todd world and what you want to add to it. It Includes all the European dolls and outfits. Tons of pictures make it easy to use. I skimmed through the Skipper section and it looks to be just as good with pictures of the different era dolls, outfits, cases, etc. This is a recommended buy. I can't imagine that the "blue" book has any more information that this "yellow" one and it can be had for a quarter of the price.

Everything I needed to know about Skipper is in this book. Pictures are wonderful! I know this book has been updated and some time I'd like to see that version, but this one seemed very complete to me!

REALLY well done book! Fashions are shown for Skipper, Ricky, Tutti and Todd. There are European dolls covered as well. Photos are nice and crisp and pages easy to follow. Also has a section for licensed products such as cases, play sets, and other accessories.
