There have been a lot of books written about Barbie^®. And we've loved them all! But there's a brand-new book about Barbie that’s got our attention these days. And not just because it's written by one of our fave Barbie friends.

Barbie: A Rare Beauty by Sandi Holder showcases photos of some rarely seen dolls and other Barbie items that Sandi has had the good fortune of seeing for herself through her Doll Attic shop and museum.

During the past two decades, some of the rarest Barbie dolls and accessories have found their way into Sandi’s shop.
