Book Description

Publication Date: March 4, 2008 | Series: Shire Library

Dolls are one of the most popular subjects for collectors. A collection does not have to consist of antique dolls or ones of great value. Many collectors start by inheriting a doll or by buying one that happens to catch their eye. Dolls have a very long history and were produced in many countries. Not all were made as playthings, but many of those collected today were toys. A concise history of the doll industry over the last 300 years in Europe, the United States and the Far East. It shows how dolls have developed and will be a useful guide to all who enjoy dolls, whether they collect them or not. Typical examples of dolls from each area are illustrated, together with a number of rarities.

This review is from: Dolls (Shire Library) (Paperback)

This book is small... short... but very much to the point! Even if you think you know everything about dolls, there is something here for you to learn. I suggest this to every serious doll collector, and especially those who are just starting out.
