Review
"The first identification and price guide of the distinctive dolls..." -- Galatea Magazine, Spring 2001.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Welcome to the first editon of Lee Middleton Original Dolls Price Guide. It lists over 500 of today's most highly collectible limited edition vinyl and porcelain dolls which were produced from 1981 through 2000 dolls by Lee Middleton Original Dolls, Inc., in Belpre, Ohio.
Prices quoted throughout this 2000 Price Guide are actual prices realized from the sale of Lee Middleton Original Dolls sold through doll auctions around the country and through dealers and collectors who buy and sell these dolls.
The term "Secondary Market" refers to the buying selling or trading of a certain collectible, most often for a price other than the original retail price. Prices quoted in the Secondary Market reflect the demand for the specific doll. The factors of supply of a doll weigh agains collectors' demand for a doll. Thus the Secondary Market price can be higher than the original retail price but at time can be lower.

A handbook for a Lee Middleton doll lover,
By
This review is from: Lee Middleton Original Dolls Price Guide (Paperback)
This book is a real "must have" for a Lee Middleton doll collector. It reviews the production of the Lee Middleton Company from the beginning to year 1999.Beacause many of the Lee Middleton doll collectors are very familiar of Reva Schick's, the company's present designer's production, the most valuable thing in the book is Lee's early production. The book shows with chronologically ordered pictures of dolls how Lee Middleton company's style was developed. I started to appreciate the dolls in the different way after reading this book. The main part the book is focused on are prices. All Lee Middleton Company's production is listed and priced. That makes a book very nice handbook for a doll collector. There are also plenty of doll photos in the book. The price lists and photos really make book more a catalog than a book. There are only few actual articles in the book: stories about Lee and Reva, the designers, and some other fairly short chapters. What I really missed were the presentation of different head molds and lists of dolls by head mold. Many collectors are very interested on different head molds and the purpose of many collection is to show different head molds. There were plenty of photos, but most of them have been published in catalogs and web pages many times before. I would have loved to see more photos taken for this book only. Instead of giving prices of the dolls, Larry Koon could have given a price range which would have shown better that the value of a doll highly depends on the condition of the doll.
