This expanded version of a previous publication on Indian dolls from the Heye Foundation collections has beautiful illustrations, and excellent text content. My only wish is that more photographs of the extensive collections at what is now NMAI would have been included, particularly from the Plains areas. I would have opted for a few fewer large format photos in exchange for more smaller ones.

This book is full of wonderful information by an employee of the American Indian Museum. I couldn't put it down.

Great book for helping to identify lots of Native American dolls from Tierra del Fuego to Pt. Barrow.

Rosemary learned about this work at the National Museum of the American Indian New York site (George Gustav Heye Center).

She collects American Indian subjects, and finds this book very useful.
