5.0 out of 5 stars A Trip down Barbie Lane, November 10, 2000

By	Tina Gelfand (Falls Church, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Barbie: A Visual Guide to the Ultimate Fashion Doll (Hardcover)

My 4 1/2 year-old just loves everything about Barbie. Although I am not a Barbie nut, I truly appreciated this book and highly recommend it for parents and children alike.

I enjoyed this book particularly because it isn't kitsch, nor is it over-the-top Barbie. It is easy to read and browse thru, even for my young daughter. The chapters make sense and give a good overview of all of the Barbie "periods", including all of the fancy, funky and frilly outfits. The layouts are great (dare I say intelligent), and the photos chronicle a good history of Barbie and friends. I took a walk down memory lane, finding some of the Barbies and Francines that I owned.

This is the first Barbie book I've seen (and I've seen many) that shows the old "Barbie Country Camper" and the great 70's puffy plastic houses in all their glory.

This is a must for anyone remotely interested in Barbie.

4.0 out of 5 stars For Fun, not Collections, April 3, 2002

By	Tammy I. Barr-Silverman "Storybook Mama" (Gastonia, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Barbie: A Visual Guide to the Ultimate Fashion Doll (Hardcover)

My kids like it. It's got excellent layout, clear crisp pics, but isn't comprehensive. Great to look through, and point to - look, I had that one when I was a kid..... (YOU were a KID?) I don't use it with my collection, but I am glad I bought it - it makes a pleasent just for fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book! Nice pictures!, October 24, 2001

By	"allegroblue" (Sao Paulo, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Barbie: A Visual Guide to the Ultimate Fashion Doll (Hardcover)

This book is really nice, the pictures are gorgeous, and it has some index on Barbie dolls by year, also Barbie's friends. Not so much on collectible dolls, but there are some dolls with gorgeous pics, some are different from the publish pics and a few are the same. Nice information for dolls and furniture. Great book! The cover is stunning!!!!
