I LOVE this book! I bought it at on online bookstore that specializes in books for RVers and I have used it to find doll collections all over the west coast. I never would have found the wonderfully eclectic collection at the Eastern Oregon Museum without it. I enjoy this book so much, I bought Witt's other book, Contemporary American Doll Artists and Their Dolls, and am now reading it.

Witt's Doll Directory is beautifully presented, orderly, and informative. Whether a casual doll enthusiast or a serious collector, every reader is sure to find amid this well-written volume many new museums and doll-related places to visit. It's a keeper that will be referenced for many years to come. I highly recommend it. As a professional bargain hunter (www.bargainomics.com), I know a good buy when I see one. Other books of this type sell for $30 or more. This is an impressive book and deal.

I collect many different types of dolls and was thrilled when I saw this book. I had no idea there were so many doll museums and collections in the U.S., but now I have a way to see each and every one of them. I liked that there was information describing each collection and loved that some of these collections are at bed and breakfasts! Very enjoyable, informative reading.

My newest passion is going to doll shows. Oh, I love seeing all the different dolls and finding the bargains! BUT I'm in an area of the country where doll shows are months apart. I found this book and thought it would be great... Until I took it home and looked at it. It was AWFUL! No convention listings, doll club information was way too general and all the stores and museums are in the northeast, nowhere near me. I ended up returning the book THE SAME DAY! This was not the right book for me.
