A Price Guide That Goes Up In Value Itself!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blue Book of Dolls & Values, 13th Edition (Paperback)
Where else have you seen a Price Guide that goes up in value!! For years the most quoted price guide on dolls; this pocket sized value guide has now expanded to include not only antique bisque dolls but also the "vintage" composition and hard plastic dolls of the 40's and 50's and even some current artist dolls. Barbie is even there!!Guidelines are listed on how to properly use this book. It explains that no price guide is the final price...sometimes price just depends...depends on area, condition, originality and popularity! Those who take the extra time to read the book's preface will learn what extra things to watch for in selecting a doll for a lasting collection. Dolls pictured are clean; photos are closeups; and where possible the costume are original. The small font size selected for the index, however, is very difficult for an older clientele to read.

This review is from: Blue Book of Dolls & Values, 13th Edition (Paperback)
This book is certainly helpful--lots of color photos and information on the makers markings and where to find them. However, this would only be a supplement to a much larger library for the doll collector. I thought it could benefit from more detailed descriptions and tips on collecting and spotting a "fake."
