No matter if your interest is in the history of dolls or in collecting, this is the book for you! The photographs are very good and the text is thorough and interesting. The early primitive (and not so primitive) dolls show the reader the type of dolls made in colonial times. The later cottage industry types show early innovation. Even contemporary art dolls are covered. I have read and reread this book a number of times and it has a permanent place on my bedside table. If you love cloth dolls, you must buy this book!
