A 'MUST HAVE' for all 'Gene' collectors!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gene (Hardcover)
"Gene" by Carolyn Cook: This guide includes everything you need to know about Gene, from concept to finished product! An easy to read and beautifully finished comprehensive guide to a lovely doll! The perfect book for all Gene collectors. With more than 100 photos to choose from, every doll collector is bound to find a new favorite every time you open the book. Some costumes are even shown being compared to the original prototypes to show changes made from beginning to end product, including some dramatic color changes. Kudo's to Mel Odem for the Gene doll, and to Carolyn Cook for her wonderful book! Read and enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent in every way-including photos and design!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gene (Hardcover)
I had to write a review after reading the opinion of two (or is it one) New York reader(s) who apparently have more refined taste than most of us. Gene is a fabulous book with great text and photos. The author has obviously spent a lot of time talking with Mel Odom and the members of the Gene team, and gives us all a wonderful insight into the inner workings of a great doll. Bravo Carolyn Cook! The doll world is enchanted with your book.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good content, just presented poorly,
By Dawn K Shumate (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gene, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
(Please note that I'm referring to the first edition of this book.) I have to agree with other reviewers who have been horrified by the sloppy presentation of this book. Our girl Gene deserves much, much better. I can only hope the second edition has addressed the poor copy editing and color photography of the first. The information, however, is valuable and informative for the Gene collector. Therefore, I consider it a "MUST HAVE" item for my bookshelf.
