Editorial Reviews

Review

After completing her first book, the author felt there were so many dolls from that period that had not made it into the book. So, with the intent of filling in some of the gap left from the first book, she compiled this one. There are no repeats from her previous volume, unless a different variation or a mint-in-box example was available.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Great Dolls From The Golden Age of Toys, April 28, 2008

This review is from: Collector's Guide to Dolls of the 1960s and 1970s: Identification and Values, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

Volume 2 of Cindy Sabulis' great doll directory of the Sixties and Seventies has more obscure dolls than anyone has ever seen. There are the popular favorites like Tressy, but did you ever see the bizarre Peteena,a glamorous woman with the head of a poodle? Betsy Wetsy rubs elbows with the John Travolta doll, but then there's the strange Ginny Bones, all head with a stick body.
But don't worry: you'll still see Twiggy, Flatsies, Liddle Kiddles, Heidi and the Rock Flowers. But then there's the obscure guys like Mr. & Mrs. Mouse House, Herby Hippy, and Lil' Souls. Just when you think you've seen it all Cindy will surprise you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another dangerous book from Cindy Sabulis!!!, May 9, 2008

This review is from: Collector's Guide to Dolls of the 1960s and 1970s: Identification and Values, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

As if her first book didn't do enough damage to my bank account, Ms. Sabulis had to follow up with a sequel, providing me even more opportunities to indulge my doll-collecting habit (addiction).

Just like her Collector's Guide Vol I, Volume II is page after page of beautiful photographs and informative descriptions of dolls I had or wanted as a child, and also contains many dolls I never knew existed (but now of course must obtain). There's so much there, I find something new each time I peruse it afresh.

Warning: The cost of this book is very reasonable. But unless (unlike me) you have a lot of self-discipline, it will ultimately cost you far more than the initial purchase price!

As a vintage doll collector I would be lost without this authors books for dolls of the 1960 and 1970's. I have had such fun finding dolls that I had long forgotten about or never even knew existed. The photos and information in this book are very valuable to the vintage doll collector. I would highly recommend this book. Even if you are not a collector the book is very fun to have around. People come over and open the book and say I had this doll or I remember my friend had this one.
