Barbie Forever: Her Inspiration, History, and Legacy (Official 60th Anniversary Collection) by Robin Gerber

informative inspiring medium-paced

3.0

Full of great pictures and anecdotes from collectors, this book is a base primer on the history of Barbie. I wouldn’t expect a super in-depth look at the brand from something like this (a complaint I’ve noticed in a few other reviews), so it fits the bill of being a good starting point on the history. I’m looking forward to reading Gerber’s biography of Ruth Handler, which I expect will delve into much more detail about the brand and its creator.
