Summary: Barbie Fashion, 1959-1967 is a MUST OWN Book!!
Review: Any Barbie collector,no matter if you are new or old, must have this book in their reference collection. I personally would have missed out on many great bargins while pursuing my collection, had I not had this book at my disposal! I have also found this book to be invaluable when trying to figure out what goes with what in the bits and pieces I already had!
I seriously doubt that you would be dissapointed in this, or the other volume! I can't wait to get my hands on the third installment!!

Summary: Not as helpful as I hoped
Review: As a new collector I thought this book would be a useful tool in recognizing valuable dolls. However,that hasn't been the case.With dolls and even more so, doll clothing,there has to be some photos (or at least descriptions) for you to know what you are looking at. I have found that the prices are not accurate with the actual market value of the dolls either. For the price that I paid for this book there are much better book options avalible. I think that club sites on the internet actually provide you with more info than this book. And they are free.

Summary: Gorgeous, lovely display of Barbie vintage fashion!
Review: Current clothes for Barbie are gorgeous, but I just can't help getting caught up in the past -- and a peek and the thousands of photos in this book and the description of the dresses is just wonderful. And the best news is, these outfits are still available from vendors of vintage Barbie! They aren't that expensive when you consider their age. They say never judge a book by it's cover. Any Barbie lover will doubt that notion when they see this cover! A blown up shot of our gorgeous #1 hero (pun intended, the doll shown is the first Barbie ever made!). I purchased this book because I have always collected Barbie and I love Barbie clothes, especially ball gowns. Oh, the current clothes sold in stores are beautiful, but the old clothes are just hot, hot, hot! What made me purchase this fashion book in particular was the other customer reviews in Amazon.com; these other customers were definitely satisfied and described just what I was looking for -- photos and descriptions of the clothes along with their number in their series (like the 800, 900, 1600 series for Barbie and the 700 series for Ken). That way, when you shop on the internet and a vendor says it has no. 816, you can look in the book and see what it is and if you want it! I can't say enough about Sarah Sink Eames except she's certainly done her homework, and readers should keep up with her work! Give this book a look-see, readers, you'll be glad you did!

Summary: The Most Beautiful and Informative of All Barbie Books
Review: This book and its companion volume, 'Barbie Doll Fashion: 1968-1974', are without doubt the most beautiful and informative books on the market for the vintage Barbie collector today. They are very well-written, with lovely photographs of absolutely pristine examples of each outfit, enough to make you drool over on every single page! 'Barbie Fashion, 1959-1967' contains fashions not only for Barbie, but for her friends and family as well. These include original outfits, Pak outfits, and every outfit available from 1959 to 1967. Also included are some very interesting prototypes and foreign outfits. Each outfit is described in detail, with a photograph showing the outfit and all accessories next to it, laying flat. Some outfits are shown on the doll. The photography is stunning, by far the best of any Barbie book I've ever seen. 'Barbie Fashion, 1959-1967' isn't just informative, it's a catalogue of dreams to build on, and a fun book just to sit and look at. You'll never be sorry you own it!
