This was a waste of time and money for me. The Title says for collectors and the cover says with prices. I found it to be a loose collection of pictures with VERY little information on any of the dolls. The vast majority of dolls have no priceing and the few that do have, in my opinion, unrealistic prices. Wondered how a publisher would put money into such a waste until I looked. Self published.

This book is a visual feast and has lots of interesting information. I wish the author would have put more info about prices and less about Seminole dolls. I did enjoy it and will use it for reference in the future. Good book in a field that is lacking information (Indian doll collecting).

My wife,Rosemary, learned about Small Spirts at the National Museum of the American Indian New York site (George Gustav Heye Center).

When I ordered Small Spirts, Indian Dolls was offered as a companion work.

My wife collects American Indian subjects, and finds books like this very useful.

This book was wonderful in helping me identify and get an idea of the value of 5 indian dolls I have.
