Cher™ Doll & Her Celebrity Friends: With Fashions by Bob Mackie (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

Sandra J. Bryan's book CHER DOLL & HER CELEBRITY FRIENDS could've only come from a dedicated Mego Cher collector.Each page has glorious color photos of all the different types of Mego Cher dolls--including Sonny--and also features other Mego dolls like Diana Ross, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, The Captain & Tennille, Suzanne Somers, Laverne & Shirley and Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. Any kid from the 70s will recognize these names and remember some of the dolls.Bryan provides info on each doll from the year of release to how much the dolls sold for back then, which range from $7.95-$8.95, and how much they go for now in mint condition.The author also provides photos on the many Bob Mackie fashions that were available for the Mego Cher doll and she describes each one as though you were watching a fashion show and provides the approximate prices of each.What separates this book from other Mego collector books is that Bryan has lovingly dressed and posed the Cher doll in the fashions and has the star in many scenes (that reflect the outfit) and features other dolls not just Mego's. Each vignette also includes elaborate backgrounds and doll sets/props and reminds me of the skits that the real Cher used to do on the "Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" (Sonny & Cher - The Ultimate Collection).Anyway, you can tell that this was a labor of love from author Sandra "Johnsie" Bryan and I'm glad that she takes the reader on that fun journey. I recommend this book to any Cher or Mego fan or fashion doll collector.

I recently found out about this book and so glad I bought it. As a Mego and Barbie collector it’s a must have. It’s a lovely coffee table book as is but Seeing all the treasures I have collected for years all in one book brings warmth to my heart

I love this book so much and enjoy looking at the pictures. It gives a great overview of the outfits that were made by Bob Mackie. It took me back to the great 70's and the love I had for Sonny, Cher, Mego and the rest of the Television Stars of the day! It inspired me to start looking on EBay and purchase my own Cher, Dressing Room and clothes!

My brother is a huge Cher fan. I always fear I do not pick a good enough "Cher gift". He opened the present, and was so excited he brought out his collection of Cher dolls. Even other celebrities were included from that time period. Perfectly detailed and not just made to look at pictures. Very informative as well. We were very happy.

Loved all the information and pictures. A must have for Cher doll collectors.

this product is in great shape, and it brings back memories of my childhood

Good Lord! What is there I can't say about this gem? For Megonor Cher doll fans, it features play sets, clothes, gowns, dioramas, Farrah Fawcett, Toni Tenille & Susanne Sommers! Just stop now and buy it! Quit being a damn fool. Whoaaaaaa!

This is a must-have silly little book for die-hard Sonny & Cher, and Cher fans. Its well worth the cost for its quirkiness!
