Shirley Temple remains the best-known child Hollywood movie star of all time and the Shirley Temple Doll(still being manufactured today) continues to be the champion of the doll industry. Since 1934, when the doll was first created, variations of the Shirley doll and associated collectibles have been avidly collected along with hundreds of costumes inspired by Shirley's roles in 57 films between 1931 and 1949. In this book, 350 beautiful color photographs present a nostalgic gallery along with original doll advertising and publicity shots from the movies. The author displays, organizes, and explains all the dolls and known costumes up to the present, and many collectibles related to them. His chronology of Shirley Temple's motion pictures, including the title, studio, date, running time, director and cast of each, is an important reference. Three generations of movie buffs, doll collectors, and vintage fashion enthusiasts alike, who have made the Shirley Temple Doll an American classic, will need to own this new book.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great reference for the Shirley Temple "doll" collector.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shirley Temple Dolls and Fashions: A Collector's Guide to the World's Darling (Paperback)
This book contains excellent photos and realistic prices for Shirley Temple dolls from the early composition dolls to the 1972 vinyl dolls. Also included are photos and prices for doll outfits, paperdolls, books, the sapphire blue breakfast set, and salts. If a collector wants photos and prices for other types of Shirley Temple items then I would suggest one of Patricia R. Smith's "Shirley Temple Dolls and Collectibles" books.

This review is from: Shirley Temple Dolls and Fashions: A Collector's Guide to the World's Darling (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
I have about every doll book that has ever been printed. This book, by far, is one of the very best. I have other Shirley Temple books, and this one covers about everything that was ever made in her likeness, and the original clothing.I recommend this book for the collector just begining a doll collection as well as the "seasoned" collector. My advice to doll collectors: Educate yourself before you buy. Buy what you love, but put your money in BOOKS and you will know what you are buying.
