Rating: Summary: Ditto, it's a gorgeous, quirky-cute book! And.. Review: ..I just had to add that I picked this up not knowing that my 30-year quest for a beloved doll that was taken from me was about to end until I turned to the page (near the end) where the two dolls are wearing that famous green dress (the only part of my doll I was able to salvage).
Gina Garan, thank you!!

Rating: Summary: I Love BLYTHE! Review: An amazing collection of photographs of the beloved Blythe. Garan captures the whimsy of the Blythe doll with her various outfits, backgrounds and scenarios. A must-have for any lover of dolls or collector of Blythe.
Rating: Summary: Open your eyes to the world of Blythe.... Review: Blythe is a wonderful doll, with a personality all her own. Blythe has been caputured in these photos beautifully by Gina Garan! Check out one of Gina's lovely photobooks, like this one "This is Blythe", or try "Dear Blythe Love Gina" or "Dear Blythe, Love Gina II"For 30 years, Blythe was like a forgotten child, that no one seemed to remember. Gina saw in Blythe what no one else did... a quirky, yet charming inner beauty, and a distinct personality. Once you own a Blythe doll, you will find that she somehow becomes your obesssion!!
Rating: Summary: Blythe is a Goddess Review: Blythe is by far my favorite doll in my collection, so naturally I had to have this book. The photography is stunning. I was in awe of Ms. Garan's talent. This book is Blythe at her most beautiful.
Rating: Summary: Blythe is simply de-voom! Review: Blythe is not simply a doll . . . she is a work of art, a fashion icon, and a superb actress. She can convey with only one glance a million emotions. She is our Garbo of the moment. Her photographer and stylist, Gina, is also a visionary of enormous talent. I, being a girl quite obsessed with fashion, worshipped this read. It has inspired me to play up my eyes, embrace my unique oversized head, and create new ensembles using old vintage items from my closet. I will carry this in my Pucci purse always.
Rating: Summary: Blythe is awsome! Review: Garan's photographs are unbelievable! She makes Blythe look real. A really great book! My husband purchased this book for me because I collect dolls and now she is at the top of my list for collecting.
Rating: Summary: Blythe = Immortal Review: Gina Garan immortalizes the lovely Blythe in this great little book! The photos are fantastic- very rich in color, texture and creativity. It's funny and touching to see this strangely magnetic doll with an oversized head going about her everyday life...inside the mouth of a lion in Vegas, among a mountain of produce at the local market or seeing the sights of New York. Blythe is just too cool and sure to explode in popularity thanks to Ms. Garan's vision! Considering that even a badly damaged Blythe doll goes for over $50 at auction - this book is WELL WORTH IT! You get tons of Blythe-y goodness for a low low price! A must have for anyone who collects eccentricites or appreciates bizarre beauty! ENJOY!
Rating: Summary: She is a Living doll! Review: Gina Garan is a Living doll! she actualy looks like one!I think she should put out more of these books every year! What a wonderful artist she is! She actualy has a trace of parody in her work because there is so much there in Blythe that is also in thje modles that we see,a cuteness,but a little devil inside....The back grounds / concepts she has chosen are minature examples of what is eye catching and what they choose these days in the fashion world. This book is with the times!It is difficult to capture the current aura of the times without making it look hoaky...but Garan succeeds! She should make a calender!
