Smallish book to take with you to Doll Shows!,
By
This review is from: Tammy and Her Family of Dolls: Identification and Price Guide (Paperback)
As a 'Tammy' collector, I first purchased the Sabulis "Tammy" book to refamiliarize myself with the Tammy family of dolls produced by Ideal. I purchased this title hoping to gain new information not already in Cindy's book. I was a bit disappointed, and refer most often to my Sabulis book on Tammy and take the Axe book with me to Doll shows (fits nicely in a purse). For Tammy collectors, there are a few pluses and quite a few drawbacks to this book: PLUSES: 1. Tammy wanna-be's are pictured and discussed in depth here - especially Palitoy's Sindy. One doll I had forgotten that I'd originally received in the 1960's was the Cinderella doll (with two heads!). 2. Unique Tammy items are displayed and presented well. Now, THE DRAWBACKS: 1. Few color photos are included - most all of the pages are in Black and White. 2. Book does not include and mention or have a description of the final costumes issued for the Tammy line (Powder Puff, Private Secretary, On the Avenue, possibly others.) These are some of the rarest and hard-to-find costumes produced for Tammy. 3. Very little information about the Italian Tammy craze back in the 60's other than a poster reproduction advertising Tammy. 4. (THE MOST IMPORTANT DRAWBACK TO SERIOUS TAMMY COLLECTORS) Information about the rarest of the Tammy family -- "Bud" -- appears to be misleading - the markings that John identifies as being a Bud doll looks like it's a combo of a Dad and Ted doll, although he does picture Bud. Bud's markings on the back of the head are correctly identified in the Sabulis book.
