Barbie Millicent Roberts: An Original
The early and rare Barbie--in 75 ravishing photographs! Here is Barbie as she was meant to be seen and celebrated, clothed in Mattel's now impossible-to-find ensembles that have been copied from the original designs of the great couturiers--Chanel, Balenciaga, and Dior, among others--and photographed by the foremost photographer of toys at work today.
One of the first books to feature Barbie dolls from the '90s, this quick-reference guide offers detailed price listings for collectors and Barbie lovers. Focusing on Mattel's regular line of "pink box" Barbies, information is also included on Midge, Christie, Teresa, Kira, and Nia dolls. Approx. 600 color photos.
This is a great book...it shows lots of great pictures of the fashions of Barbie from 1959 to 1998, however the name of the dolls were not included, just a short discription of the fashion. This was kind of disappointing, but if you are not interested in the identity of the dolls, then this book is a perfect pictorial of Barbie's world of fashion.
