Barbie book

DESCRIPTION
Celebrate the sixty-fifth anniversary of Barbie in a book dedicated to the fascinating history of the world’s most popular doll. Created by Mattel founder Ruth Handler, a game-changing feminist visionary, Barbie defied the conventions of the 1950s, establishing a role for women other than a wife and mother. With an identity outside of her family, Barbie represented an astounding modern departure, opening the imagination for what a doll-and a woman-could be. Decade by decade, the title comprehensively explores the Barbie doll’s evolution from 1959 to today with fascinating facts, insights and never-before-seen imagery. From Marilyn Monroe to Margot Robbie, fashion designers to first responders, Barbie is the essential primer of an American phenomenon. Today, more than a billion Barbie dolls with over 250 careers have been purchased worldwide, offered in an array of different nationalities, ethnicities, and body types. In these pages, readers will discover not only Barbie’s rich history but her singular magic: She is a doll through whom girls can project their own fantasies, whether it be doctor, rock star, paleontologist, Olympic gold medalist, Major League Baseball player, virologist, or ecologist.

Thank you, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money for this book but I think now that I've had a closer look I think I'll get it for Christmas.
Thanks for the review!

I BOUGHT this for myself for Christmas. When I received it the last page was crack due to the heaviness of the book. They resend me another book plus they let me keep the damage book. So my damage book I have it out on my living room table where some of my Barbie's and Disney limited edition dolls are displayed and the second sealed book on top of my dresser sealed. It is a beautiful giant collector coffee book if you can get your hands on
