5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining and educational, April 28, 2000

By	Tammy (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This is a terrific book with tons of bright and detailed photos. Contains a lot of the popular dolls from this period- along with some that are not so popular (which is nice for identifying). Contains dolls such as Liddle Kiddles, Dolly Darling, Crissy, Flatsy, Playpal, Thumbelina, Barbie, Darcy, Tammy, and so many more. It is a pleasure to read so you will find yourself coming back to look at it even when you don't have a doll to identify.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information Source on Dolls of the 60s and 70s!, February 16, 2002

By	D. Colburn "DCvintage" (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is great. I am very pleased with it. It has lots of dolls to look at/look up. The dolls are catagorized by manufactorer but if you can't find your doll that way the index is extremely easy to use. It has helped me a lot in my doll collecting and it has also helped add some dolls to my want list. All in all wonderful book, worth buying.
