Praise Barbie Forever: Her Inspiration, History, and Legacy by Robin Gerber
“The copiousness of rare photos and in-depth narrative elevates this book above any mere collectible coffee-table book to be glanced through idly then discarded. This is a photo book, a study book, to be loved and enjoyed by anyone who has known the joy of immersing themselves in the world of the original girl who could grow up to be anything.– Critical Blast
“Barbie Forever is a book that will give you tremendous insight into how one doll and one company could take the world by force. This is a great coffee table read and would be perfect in anyone’s home”- The Nerdy Girl Express

Fascinating book which interests me greatly. Thanks.
What a great idea. The Barbie legend transcends all barriers. Thanks!!
Barbie is a classic…..my friends and I played with them when we were young.
I love to hear the thoughts & history behind American icons.
I have been a Barbie collector since I was a young girl. It was a sad day when my mother insisted I put my Barbies away. She informed me I was too old to be playing with that Beloved doll. I was a despondent fourteen year old. My way to prolong my playtime was becoming a collector. Now, I share my love of all things Barbie with my grands. I’m crazy about Barbie!
Thank you for including this beautiful book in your blog. Wishlist, for sure.💕
Brings back memories.
This book looks gorgeous, and I know people who collect Barbies and will enjoy this as well!
