One of the reasons I love these paper dolls by Tom Tierney is that they capture the magic and star quality of Greta Garbo. The book is clearly aimed at adult customers, whether they be Garbo fans, paper doll enthusiasts or students of costume design.
As someone who fits into all three categories, I loved the portrayal of Garbo. There are three dolls showing her at different times during her career, and the first two in particular are very life-like. I also enjoyed seeing the development and growing sophistication of costume design from the silent era until the early 1940-s. The costumes from "Mata Hari" and "Camille" are especially lovely.
My only complaint is a small one. I would have liked to see more than just one costume each from two of Garbo's greatest roles: "Queen Christina" and "Anna Karenina".

These costumes and dolls are beyond perfection. The artist has captured the essence of the screen's Goddess, the immortal Greta Garbo.

If you are a fan of classic film and love paper dolls, Tom Tierney's dolls are a must for your collection. Greta Garbo Paper Dolls in Full Color is a book by that you must have!
