This beautiful hard-cover makes a very nice coffee table book, but I don't recommend it for someone looking to do any in-depth doll research. The pictures are lovely, but details are scant. In most cases, the doll's height measurements, characteristics, year of production, etc., are not even listed. She also throws in quite a few new artist dolls and 70's fashion dolls which don't seem to fit in with the rest of the book and are of little interest to vintage doll collectors.

This book is great because it covers a huge variety of dolls. It has color pictures on every page and shows lots of details. It is great for identifying dolls. The only thing it somewhat lacks is reference to the markings on all of the dolls covered. It appears to be up-to-date on values.

As a bookseller on Amazon, I want to clarify the info that the Editorial review's "Product description" stated for this item: it is NOT pertaining to this book.
But first.. my review/comments were not accepted unless I submitted a rating so I chose something midway. I do not collect dolls nor sell them, and though I think this is a good book, please don't decide purchasing or not, based on my rating. Read other comments and then decide for yourself. Now the real reason I wrote..
This is NOT Moyer's 3rd Edition as stated but rather her first volume of her series "Modern Collectible Dolls" (not to be confused with Smith's "Modern Collector's Dolls" series.) Also, using the word "edition," as in "third edition," is misleading because each volume is not a newer edition of the same book. Each has different dolls, not repeating dolls from another volume and just updating info or prices on them. Thanks.. and if you buy this book.. please enjoy.
