Author Description

Barbie is the world's best-loved doll; two Barbie dolls are sold every second (more than 700 million since 1959). This update of Abbeville's most popular Tiny Folio (over 100,000 in print around the world) is a handy pocket guide to Barbie, from her start in 1959 through the latest fashions of the 1990s. With more than 250 color illustrations spanning 40 years, this small book is as much a visual history of American fashion as it is a history of Barbie herself. Forever relevant, forever beautiful, forever successful, forever Barbie.
