Elizabethan Embroidery a Better Title
Not the most accurate book.All of the period blackwork examples are late Elizabethan or Jacobean.Several projects, such as the cushions and bags with embroidered slips and the embroidered scene, are Elizabethan and not Tudor.The blackwork motifs are late Tudor/ Elizabethan.Very nice little book with several very nice projects, but would be more appropriate for someone working on Elizabethan embroidery.Would be excellent as an Elizabethan/Jacobean embroidery book!Instructions are clear and concise, very nice project ideas which may be adapted for period or modern uses.Again, highly recommend for later periods, but only one of two are appropriate for the earlier Tudor period.Remove one star for title. ...

I Love Dolls and Dolls' Houses
What an interesting book!A lot of exquiste images of the mini houses for dolls shown in the book. It is a mirror inflecting the history of dolls and the history of the countries in the past. Why not buy one and sit together with your sons and daughters showing them the miniatures of Amsterdam...:) ... Read more

great for mature collectors..
I have collected Barbies for many years and received this book as a gift.I thought it was wonderfully interesting to see many different artists' interpretation of Barbie and her influence on society.I haven't looked at the book for a few years, and I can still picture some of the images -Barbie swimming in French Fries (a play on American diet vs. Barbie's slim figure?) and many dolls watching a huge Barbie face on a movie screen (Is Barbie taking over the world? Should we be on the lookout for Big Barbie?).Overall, I agree that this is a fun coffee table book that would stimulate a lot of interesting conversation.

entertaining
I enjoyed (and still enjoy) reading this book. The pictures are great and often amusing. This would be a great coffee table book.

i love this book
As a lifelong Barbie fan, I must say- I love this book.It has something for everyone and you'll see something new every time you pick it up.This book is a must have for Barbie Collectors! ... Read more
