Josef Originals were figurines from my childhood and are a wonderful collectable to pass down through generations. This well illustrated book will delight any Josef collector. It begins with a short written history and jumps into many pages of clear pictures. Each page is a delight to view. This guide has a price listing in the back. Collect all three "Josef" books by the Authors Jim & K Whitaker. These books are indeed collectibles in themselves.

I love this book. The photos are very clear and sharp. It has a great and easy to read price guide and background on the artist. Invaluable book if you collect Josef Original figurines!

Good reference if you are looking to identify dolls, but very few of the dogs, mice, horses, and wildlife the company produced are listed, which included, unfortunately, none of the ones I was looking for. The pictures are very clear and the price guide is easy to follow, however.

Collecting these wonderful figurines has been a happy stroll down memory lane. My parents gave me several dolls when I was growing up. As a young married woman, they were placed on a shelf in our new apartment. Unfortunately, the shelf fell from the wall and my figurines from childhood were shattered (I call this "The great Humpty Dumpty Incident"!) I have now begun the task of replacing my collection and this collectors guide has been such a wonderful resource. I've had a great time researching and finding the dolls of my memory. It has helped me know approximate worths of each piece so I don't overpay and helped me know when I've gotten a deal! Great reference book!
