4.0 out of 5 stars Best all-round indentification guide to dolls, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Antique Trader's Doll Makers and Marks: A Guide to Identification (Paperback)

This book has more information in one volume than any other doll ID guide that I've seen. I especially appreciate the doll size charts--helps to determine what size head goes on which body for many makes of antique dolls. Newer dolls are covered, too. It's my most-used book!

A must have..buy dolls or has a collection and needs to find marks, #s, makers, and not just for bisque, but compo and other materials, old dolls to more resent dolls. So full of information
