5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have!, April 22, 1998

This review is from: Decorative Dollhouses (Hardcover)

Of all my miniature books, this one is the one that I always have handy. It is invaluable for the beginner and experienced miniaturist alike. The author shares hundreds of tips that are both clever and inexpensive. The photography is excellent and is especially inspirational to anyone doing a shop. Included are a grocery, fishmonger, millinery, pharmacy, bakery, hat shop, toy store, and antique shop. (I probably missed several). There are also houses and roomboxes. While this isn't a manual for particular projects, the ideas can easily be translated to your own settings. I wouldn't be without this book in my library.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most lovely dollhouse books I've ever seen., August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Decorative Dollhouses (Hardcover)

This book is a chocolate bonbon of a dollhouse book. The pictures are wonderful, the descriptions are delightful. You'll be either green with envy of the owners of the featured houses, or inspired.

This was the first book on miniatures when I started out in this hobby( 1990). I still love it and look into it on a regular basis; it is full of great pics , lots of inspiration and a good read.
