PRESENTS A THOROUGH HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE EVOLUTION OF VOGUE DOLL COMPANY AND GINNY THROUGH HER MANY CHANGES. LOTS OF ILLUSTRATIONS. GREAT REFERENCE SECTION IN BACK TO IDENTIFY AND PRICE DOLLS AND CLOTHING QUICKLY. THERE ARE A FEW TYPOS IN THE BOOK--COULD HAVE BEEN EDITED A LITTLE BETTER. NEVERTHELESS, IT'S EASY AND FUN TO READ. THERE IS A NEW SECTION ON 1998 GINNY WITH CLEAR ILLUSTRATIONS OF HER WEARING HER LATEST DESIGNS. I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY THIS BOOK ON AMERICA'S SWEETHEART.

Few dolls speak of childhood like the Ginny doll. As a young toddler in the 1950s, Ginny the character, was a spokesperson for her generation. In the days when children played in the present with dolls that represented themselves, Ginny doll was always a favorite. Her wardrobe, accessories and study construction has made her a living legend that still continues today. The Ginny doll is a part of the American heritage of dolls. I hope you enjoy this book as it is a chapter of Americana that we never want to forget. A. Glenn Mandeville

I don't believe any other book covers the 1990's Ginny's like this one. It is a small paperback at 160 pages but makes up for it with the descriptions of outfits and the pictures. This book starts back at the begining and shows you Ginnys over the years. Even though it stops at 1998, it covers more pictures of outfits and Ginny's than any of the recent books. A must have for a Ginny Collector. I wish they would print another book on Ginny's
