5.0 out of 5 stars A dark playful mood for toy photography., November 27, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Magic Land of Toys (Hardcover)
Have checked this book out of the library twice and finally decided to purchase on my own. Beautifully photographed collection of dolls. Sort of a Toy Story-like still life set -ups. Buat with a wonderful creepy darker undertone - mostly at night.
