Product Description

In the spring of 1997, we released the premiere edition of Modern Collectible Dolls and now one year later, it is time to produced the second volume to this popular annual. That's right, each spring Patsy Moyer is going to release an all-new volume of this modern dolls title. She did not simply update a few values and add a few photographs; instead, she started from scratch with all-new listings, values, and color photographs, making Volume II a companion volume to her first edition with no repeats. Over 600 beautiful full-color photographs are included, each with complete histories, sizes, dates, facts, and current values. Doll collectors will love the easy-to-use format with companies and their dolls arranged alphabetically. All values are stated next to the dolls' photographs and descriptions for easy reference. 1998 values. AUTHORBIO: Patsy Moyer is a leading authority on doll values; she has written articles as the "Doll Detective" for Contemporary Doll Values, queries for an online publication, "I-Dolls", and served on the board of the Modern Doll Collectors, Inc., a non-profit organization that focuses on modern doll collecting, for many years. Her bestselling book series on dolls include: Doll Values, Antique to Modern, Modern Collectible Dolls, and Scouting Dolls Through the Years. REVIEW: This book updates information on a range of ceramics made in Japan. An introductory discussion of maker's marks provides illustrated examples while chapters organized by item type, from bookends to condiment sets and cigarette items, makes for quick reference. It is the perfect book for collectors of Made in Japan ceramics, and is a perfect addition to the four-volume series by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets for identifying Collectible dolls!, December 3, 1998

By A Customer

Even if you already have Volume one of this book, this book is still wonderful! Each page has beautifully detailed colored pictures of Modern dolls- Alexander, Ideal, Mattel, Effanbee, etc.. Lots of popular dolls, with very few repeats from the first edition. If you sell dolls- or collect them- you will not be disappointed with this book.
