Authors comments,
By A Glenn Mandeville (Bordentown, New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Age of Collectible Dolls 1946-1965 (Hardcover)
This book is a walk down memory lane for the Baby Boomer generation. I can't tell you the fun I had doing the research! Here presented in color are the dolls that were cherished from 1946-1964, often considered the Golden Age of collectible dolls. If you like vintage dolls and those who loved them, then this is the book for you! A. Glenn Mandeville

No New Information Here...,
By Susie B (Washington, DC area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Age of Collectible Dolls 1946-1965 (Hardcover)
Addressed to the Baby Boomer generation--yes that's me--with absolutely beautiful photography. The great photos are the strength of the book. A nice slant from one Baby Boomer to another, it reads like a story. However, if one is looking for information on any dolls other than the most popular of the day, then you won't find it here. My copy of this book does not include a Price Guide either, as suggested in the photo here. No mention of prices anywhere in the book--for buyers or sellers.
