From the Inside Flap
For more than three quarters of a century, the name "Madame Alexander" has been synonymous with art, craftsmanship, and an uncanny attetntion to the smallest detail. Madame Alexander was not just a legend, she and her talents became the standard by which all other American-made dolls were compared. Madame's creations were designed for generations of children and collectors. Legions of celebrities, film stars, royalty and prominent figures of art and literature have been immortalized through her keen eye and appreciation of beauty. Today, The Alexander Doll Company continues to be a leader in collectible doll artistry and design. The regular line introduced at Toy Fair each year introduces elegant and numerous store specials. The middle of the year releases help delight the dedicated collector all year long. This third edition features more that 1,000 new listings with up-to-the-minute values on all your favorites. Also included are Qalt Disney World auction pieces, every store special ever made, as well as convention dolls manufactured in very limited pieces. Listings of current collector prices will enable the collector and dealer of Madame Alexander dolls to buy and sell with confidence some of the most outstanding creations of this century! Collecting Madame Alexander Dolls is just like the company motto says... "A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever!"

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book- but it's missing something!,

This review is from: Madame Alexander Dolls: Collector's Price Guide (Paperback)
I am just getting back into collecting Madame Alexander dolls. I have been collecting Barbie for the last 10 years and had a MA collection which I sold about 2 years ago. I think this is a great book with an extensive list of dolls. The only thing keeping it from getting 5 Stars is that there are not that many style numbers. For instance, there are so many Spain & Mexico dolls, I can't really tell which I have, by looking at this book. Maybe the next book, he'll list style numbers. Otherwise, I think it's great.

As this author of this book, I am thrilled to present the reader with up to the minute pricing and identification. For over seventy years, the Alexander Doll Company has spelled magic to children and adults alike. This edition is unique in that it lists individual dolls that collectors desire. Store specials and one-of-a-kind dolls are also highlighted. I hope you enjoy reading this book with the same enthusiam that I had writing it! A. Glenn Mandeville
