A True Gem for the Vintage Dollhouse enthusiast. Tons of clear pictures as with all of Diane Zilners books, which show we collectors and Antique Dealers alike the true identities of the wonderfully expressive imaginations of miniature makers from the past.

I highly recommend this book to new and old collector's alike -Michael J. Kouri, Antique Toy Appraiser-member of U.F.D.C. & the Schoenhut Collector's Club, author of "The Adventures of Peg Wooden". You might also want to check out American Dollhouses and furniture of the 20th Century. Enjoy!

This is a good book if you collect dollhouses (already made and furnished). There is great information on the history of dollhouses with sections highlighting examples from England, Germany, and America. Related topics, not always covered are here as well...dolls, plastic furniture, and metal work are included.
I found the book to be a bit too technical to enjoy-kind of reminded me of a textbook. No roombox interiors are in this book.

I ordered this book for my business, and have used it a great deal. It's a wonderfully photographed book, with great references.

This is a terrific book for anyone interested in old dollhouses - the pictures are fantastic, plentiful, and have great color. I found the book to be very helpful for identifying the makers of various types of antique dollhouses.
