    This was just perfect. The price was right. The item arrived in unblemished condition. The book was better than expected. I would recommend anyone looking for something of this category to go to Amazon.com. Thank you for the great experience.

    I used this book while conducting an estate appraisal of a collection of some 45 high-end collectible dolls, all in pristine original condition with boxes, hang tags, etc. and some with custom-made display cases. Only 20-25% of the dolls in the collection were listed in this book.

    The book is very incomplete: a great many dolls are not listed; mostly only composition. The dolls that are mentioned are way to often not pictured, which i found enormously frustrating.I thought paging through my new book would be fun but instead it was just irritating. And of course the prices change, so ones really needs to check the internet for those. It’s a horrible pictoral reference. Better to invest in the more specific books like Cindy Sabulis’s guides.This book is not recommended.

    I refer to this doll book often.

    Any author who attempts to include 200 years` worth of antique and collectible dolls in one book has quite a feat ahead. But the author does a wonderful job.

    This hardback book is printed on quality paper.

    The photos are very nicely taken.

    Information is very helpful.

    PS: Addendum (July,2009): I just found out that this author has just issued “VOLUME 4″, in this series(out in July,2009).

    I will surely buy Volume 4, and enjoy both VOLUME 3 and VOLUME 4 together, because this author does such a nice job with all her books, and it’s worth owning both Volumes 3 and 4. In my opinion, that’s how valuable Volumes 3 and 4 will become in my own doll library. Thus, if you are a doll lover or doll collector, I would look into both Volumes (ie:3 and 4).

    PSS: I do not own Volumes 1 and 2 in this series.
