Using about 23M B{bar B} events collected in 1999-2000 with the BABAR detector, they report the observation of several hundred B → D{sup (*)} {bar D}(*) K decays with two completely reconstructed D mesons. The preliminary branching fractions of the low background decay modes B° → D*⁻ D{sup (*)}° K⁺ are determined to be Β(B° → D*⁻ D°K⁺) = (2.8 ± 0.7 ± 0.05) x 10⁻³ and Β(B° → D*⁻ D*° K⁺) = (6.8 ± 1.7 ± 1.7) x 10⁻³. Observation of a significant number of candidates in the color-suppressed decay mode B⁺ → D*⁺ D*⁻ K⁺ is reported with a preliminary branching fraction Β(B⁺ → D*⁺ D*⁻ K⁺) = (3.4 ± 1.6 ± 0.9) x 10⁻³.
