Libro: My Vintage Barbies: A Comprehensive Reference Guide of Barbie Through the Vintage Years 1959-1979 and Beyond

After many years of cataloging all things Barbie through her website, Marie now packs all this information into a large 348-page paperback reference book with standard color printing. (The hardcover 372-page book with bonus content and premium color printing is also available.)

This book is sure to capture the interest of all Barbie enthusiasts. Like many Barbie collectors, Marie’s passion for Barbie began as a child when her mom bought her a Skipper Barbie doll. Since then, Marie has assembled a large collection of Vintage Barbies and dedicated many hours to promoting this pastime which so many enjoy.

My Vintage Barbies covers the Barbie era in detail, from 1959 to 1979 and beyond. Although the book spotlights the vintage era, it includes unique and historically relevant dolls after 1979, including foreign, holiday, Silkstone, and current collectible dolls. Vintage clothing ensembles from 1959 to 1972 are also included for Barbie, her friends, and her family, as well as gift sets, furniture, structures, and scores of other vintage Barbie items. Readers will enjoy over three-thousand color photographs, while discovering a few of the author’s personal favorites and other fun surprises along the way! Collectors will appreciate the descriptions about each doll, and the detail with which the author explains their variations and specifics. The book includes a table of contents with an extensive, organized, and detailed index, making it quick and easy to find a specific clothing ensemble, doll, or other item. This is a must have book for any Barbie collector, enthusiast, or fashionista, and will make a cherished gift for the Barbie aficionado!
