Illustrated by Norman Messenger. First American edition, 195. Dorling Kindersley Publishing.
"Have you ever dreamed of mixing with the stars? Now you can create more than 2,500 new 'celebrities' by mixing and matching fragments of the twelve famous faces that make up this endlessly entertaining book.
