What a clever, original, fun book! I originally bought this book for my son (who is at the age where he's really into cowboys and anything related to the old west... so this book seemed perfect!), but after reading through it with him, I took away some great tips for myself! I learned how to use a bandanna to enhance any ensemble as well as some practical uses, too! Who would have thought I could feel so hip and stylish with a red bandanna in my hair?

I love this book, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone!

The Most Gorgeous Barbie Book Ever!!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2004-03-03
This awesome book contains everything you'll ever need to know about the Barbies, Barbie friends and fashions that were made exclusively for the Japanese market in the 1960s. But beyond containing a wealth of great information, it is one of the most beautiful books on Barbie ever made! The photography is incredible, even the paper it's printed on is top-of-the-line. Plus, it shows a fascinating glimpse into the history and manufacturing of early Barbies. The book is the best of both worlds -- great information and pure eye candy!

Great book! Beautiful Photos, a must!

This book shows many vintage outfits that where available only in Japan. I don't know if they show them all, as there is no other book about this, that I can compare it with.

I just loved the info, and the photos, I still haven't read it completely.

If you want to get it go to barbie bazaar website and special editions.

What A Doll!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-05-12
This is a lovely, well-crafted coffee table book, full of elegant photos of Barbie in many of her earliest fashions, and a few of her swingin' Mod fashions as well. Not much for text - just a few pages of introduction, but heavy on gorgeous photography, with various beautiful early Barbie dolls used as models. All photos are captioned with year of the doll presented, as well as year and name of the outfit in which she appears. The only critique I have is that this is probably not to be used to determine which outfits came with which accessories/pieces, as I found a couple mistakes in outfit inclusions as I went through the book. This does not detract at all from its overall beauty. If you are already a Barbie collector and do not have this book, it is an exquisite addition to your collection - if a new collector, it will demonstrate some of the most fantastic early dolls and outfits for your consideration. Just-sensational!

FAB-O!!!

I loved this book. Barbie looks "tres chouette" in all of her outfits. There are some pictures where Barbie looks exactly like Samantha Stevens from the TV show, BEWITCHED. And there are times where she looks a lot like Mary Tyler Moore. All of the outfits were so carefully crafted and assembled. I love how they use to ahve little metal zippers for the dresses. Now, that's quality!!! It's a fantastic source for fashion inspiration.

Book was informative and enlightening. I learned a lot about techniques I should consider to save and restore my skin. It was well written and easy to understand for a lay person such as myself. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this topic.

Beautifeye is a great resource for anyone who wants to easily understand all the newest procedures for the eyes and face. This book outlines cosmetic procedures including peels, micordermabrasion and Botox and surgeries such as brow lifts and correction of droopy eyelids. It is very helpful that each procedure clearly lists the results and complications. The before and after photos display the actual results that may be achieved from different procedures, which is useful for visualizing how these changes may look on my face. There's no hype here, just concise info, as opposed to most fashion and beauty magazines, which always confuse and overwhelm me when they write about these sorts of things. I would recommend this to anyone who's seriously considering a cosmetic and/or surgical procedure.

Bharti Vyas draws upon the wisdom and spirituality of the East and the practical knowledge of the West in this unusual beauty manual.

Utilizing acupressure techniques, self-massage, herbs, kitchen cupboard treatments, make-up tips, dietary advice, and more, the author addresses the needs and special problems of areas from head to toe, not forgetting inner health, including vital fluids and hormonal health.

Well illustrated and clearly written, this is a very useful collection of tips for the woman who wants to maintain herself in top condition.

Bharti's simple approach makes the feel-good factor most people long for when buying this kind of book 100% achievable. After following her simple massage and home spa instructions I felt immensely relaxed and was glowing from head to foot (and all for the price of a bottle of almond oil and a box of deep sea salt!). I have bought a copy of this for my mum and most of my friends will be getting copies for their birthday/xmas presents as well.

Continuing the fashion/retail knowledge

Review Date: 2008-01-29
Initially, I purchased this text book because one of the authors, Dr. Myrna Garner, was a professor of mine at Illinios State University. However, upon delving into the book, I realized how exciting and informative the book is for someone who has since graduated college, and is living in the "real world" of retail. Dr Garner is still teaching via this informative text book - and it's still just as exciting to hear what she has to tell us.

Fine writing about an uninteresting bunch of people
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2002-03-12
A friend recommended this book as I've been reading a lot about Sarah, Duchess of York, and I was interested in Steve Wyatt's background.

The author writes in an easy style as she tells the history of these families who are a large part of Texas history. I had not heard much about any of them. Texas folks probably would like to read about them, but I found them boring. I've given it five stars for her writing.

There are some interesting things about how retail stores have changed over the years and how customer service has deteriorated.

I think that only Texans would be interested in the parts about oil and gas companies.

texas at its best!
