Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Celebration of American Dolls (Hardcover)
I am so-o glad that one of my dollmaking friends recommended this book to me. It is colorful, tremendously interesting and informative and fun. The Wendy Lavitt book, American Folk Dolls, has been my bible for years. Thank goodness for another really good book to add to my collection.
