Summary: A must for Early Vintage Barbie Collectors
Review: This book covers all the outfits, accesory paks made for Barbie friends and family until 1967. It shows them in detail, the pictures are bright and high quality and never miss an accesory. Like all other books the Price Guide Section is not up to date but the info given helps you tell which items will be HTF and which won't.I do not recommend this book for people just trying to id their childhood items. Use the web for that task. Go to barbie collectibles dot com and ask in the bulleting board how to id your stuff. As this book only shows fashions for a limited time period thus you won't be able to id all your collection. I would also recommend the second and third volumes of this author if you are really into barbie fashions. Also if you like to know about variations check Joe Blitman's books that cover MOD fashions for Barbie and Francie. If you have heard about The Barbie Closet book that also covers fashions but having Vol 1&2 of Eames together with The Ultimate Barbie Guide by Melillo you will have all the info in that tome with much better pictures at a much lower price. (B closet is Out of Print and goes rather high).

Summary: Highly Recomend for the Barbie Collector
Review: This book has so much information. I was able to put accessories and outfits together from a bundle of Barbie "stuff". If you are looking for a book to inform you on original Barbie clothes this is the one.

Summary: Barbie Fashion, vol 1, 1959-1967, by Sarah Sink Eames
Review: This is it! The absolute best! An encyclopedia of every outfit you dreamed about in living color. Very helpful in identifying outfits, accessories, names of friends/family and the year they were introduced. Wonderful pictures of every outfit with all accessories, right down to the earings. Nice captions under each outfit with extra information, item number, and name of the outfit. Priceless in organizing your new finds or getting things all together for selling. Felt price guide in back overestimated values.
