Thanks to doll experts Barbara DeFeo and Carol Stover, this series continues. With almost 500 color photographs, the eighth edition of Doll Values, Antique to Modern, will retain its #1 bestselling status. The book is divided into two sections, antique and modern, and many published references have been used for descriptions and marks. Listed alphabetically by manufacturer or type, the dolls' histories, marks, descriptions, and values are included. Over 6,000 listing and a useful index will benefit collectors and allow for quick reference at doll shows and auctions. 2004 values. AUTHORBIO: Barbara DeFeo was editor of Dolls, Toys & Teddy Bears newspaper, writing lead articles, editing, and photographing. She has written for Antiques & Collectibles and Antique Doll Collector. She has a degree in journalism, has been in the doll business since 1978, and is an appraiser and seller of dolls. AUTHORBIO: Carol Stover co-authored Collector's Encyclopedia of Vogue Dolls, in two editions, with Judith Izen. She also authored Small Dolls of the 40s & 50s and updated Doll Values, Antique to Modern, 8th Edition. She lectures on Vogue and other modern dolls, and on the art of collecting and writing about Baby Boom era dolls. She has authored over 60 magazine articles on dolls, toys, and collectibles. REVIEW: It's easy to see why this book is such a winner. Most books of this depth arrive in much weightier packages; this provides a compact take-along tote perfect for garage sales and flea markets, along with the essential color photos which are such an important adjunct to valuations. From symbol, letter, and maker indexes to a bibliography of doll collector links and plenty of color photos throughout, this is an important guide not to be missed by any avid doll collector.
