This is great book, of course I have a bias , since the author is my late father. The book was written several years ago, but the art of making miniatures by hand has not changed in the past twenty years. The skill level and tools used have not changed. Buy this one if you are a handy, crafty person. Good luck

This review is from: Early American Dollhouse Miniatures (Paperback)

I bought this to add to my miniaturist book collection. Perhaps, in time it will be useful for one or two items I might construct, but for now, it isn't for me. If you are into miniatures of Early America, this book isn't bad. Be forewarned, 98% of the book is black and white photos: there are only about a dozen color photos. It is an old book from 1981 and poorly constructed. Again, for this time period, there are lots of diagrams for making this period of items for your dollhouse, shop or diorama. I give it four stars for the wealth of information in it.

This review is from: Early American Dollhouse Miniatures (Paperback)

If you are crafty and want to learn new skills-this is for you. This is becoming a lost art. My dad is the author and shared his knowlege. The very first house he made was named "The Jenny House" after my first daughter. The hobby grew from there becoming a business. I was addicted to dollhouses.
All the items in this book are fun to make and what an accomplishment when you have the finished product!!!!!
