Great book for doll collectors and costumers
I love this book. I could sit and read it and look at pictures for hours and hours at a time. The pictures of the original dolls are wonderful as are the descriptions of the dolls and their clothing. The chapters are divided logically with a wonderfully extensive Index to help you find any doll. There are patterns in the back of the book that are great for doll costumers. They allow the costumer to see exactly what pieces make a costume look the way it should. All in all, I would recommend this book to any doll collector or costumer who has an appreciation for authenticity.
