Covers manufacturers of the bisque, china, wax, wood, cloth and papier-mache dolls of the 19th and early 20th century and a 'Modern' section which covers the makers of composition, hard plastic,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have more than one of Jan Foulke's Blue Books. I find them useful not only for the price guide, but for the full-color photos that can be found on almost every page of the book. And don't think that only the prices are updated in each issue. Ms. Foulke also swaps out most, if not all, of the photos, so each new edition gives you more visual examples to refer to. I recommend this or any of her books.

THE resource for all your doll questions on values and dolls.
This Book is a MUST for the Doll Collector
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Jan Foulke's Blue Book Dolls and Values, 16th Edition, provides the reader with another easy to use guide to the current market values of modern to antique dolls. Beautiful photographs, descriptions and identifying marks and a well-developed index and list of mold numbers make this a handy reference book. As a doll collector for over 35 years, I would not part with any of Ms. Foulke's previous Blue Books and still refer to them to identify dolls. I assume that this book takes into account the effects of online auction sales such as eBay, because some dolls have decreased in value. This, however, gives credit to Ms. Foulke's research abilities in providing accurate and up to date information. She is one of the most renowned authorities on dolls in the world and I look forward to her next Blue Book.
