I Wish I had that Doll...........,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dolls and Accessories of the 1930s and 1940s (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
Another wonderfully done book on composition dolls; photography is excellent and many 'minty' dolls are pictured. I would liked to have seen a few more accessories,but the beauty and variety of the dolls makes up for it. This is definitely a keeper and is an outstanding addition to any compo, or American doll, collectors' library.
