About this product

Product Information

Although usually thought of as children's playthings, dolls, like teddy bears, are also highly valued collectors' items. This book provides collectors, would-be collectors and enthusiasts with a definitive guide to over 500 types of doll. Whether it is made of wax, bisque, porcelain or cloth, whether a Peking Opera Doll or a Barbie, each example is presented clothed and unclothed with all salient features highlighted. The book includes colour photographs of over 500 dolls from two centuries, from early peg dolls to national dolls and modern examples such as Action Man and Barbie. It also includes a practical care-and-repair section and a buyer's guide on how and where to collect dolls.
