Excellent resource, if interested in backyard syrup making........1997-02-12
Informative and well-written, with many excellent photographs. Includes an interesting review of the history and current practices of maple syrup production, and do-it-yourself instructions for anyone interested in making small batches of syrup as a "backyard" activity. Extensive and accurate listing of equipment manufacturers and suppliers, many of whom offer catalogs and take direct orders

This new reference features over 650 color photographs showing details of individual houses, several hundred pieces of furniture made of metal, wood, paper and plastic, and delightful full sets. Thoroughly researched information is provided for more than one hundred dollhouses, which date from 1900 to 1990 and range in size from the miniature Marx Newlywed model to the large Mego Walton Farmhouse. The biggest names in dollhouse manufacture are well represented -- from Bliss, Converse, and Schoenhut to Strombecker, Kilgore, Tootsietoy, Built-Rite, Renwal, Ideal, Plasco, Marx and many others.

Customer Reviews:
Fantastic! I love this book!.......1998-11-27
This book filled my burning desire to know everything about dollhouses & furniture from the last 50 years. There are no gaps of missing information or omitions of important items in this detailed and comprehensive book. Quite a relief after seeing an army of inadequate collector books flood the market. I'll have hours of fun reading this. My only complaint is some of the photos are dark or of poor color quality. I want to view these things in their full glory.
A walk down the memory lane of my childhood!.......1998-08-07
This book is jam-packed with useful info, great pictures, and a very enjoyable writing style. I found myself constantly saying "I had that -- I remember that -- my friend had that one!" The book has been my constant companion ever since it arrived. What's more, it has sparked a new interest in collecting the old tin litho houses from the 50s and 60s -- items I had all but forgotten when I moved on to 1" scale wood miniatures. Thank you for a truly remarkable book, one which many of my friends will be enjoying, too.
The BEST comprehensive book on contemporary dollhouses........1998-07-21
Zillner has actually answered burning questions I've had on dollhouses and their furnishings. This is by far the BEST reference I've seen in 25 years of collecting. I highly recommend the book.
A must for a collector's reference library!.......1998-04-15
Informative, well written, well illustrated. If you're a collector, this book is a great reference.
Superb reference book, one of a kind in its class........1998-02-10
After searching for a reference book of this type for many months, I finally discovered this book through the internet. I have over 50 collectible reference books in my library and this one I would rate at the very top. A comprehensive, beautifully photographed, helpful reference guide.
Book Description
In the five years since her introduction by the Tonner Doll Company, Tyler Wnetworth has risen to the top of the world of fashion dolls. This book is a comprehensive collector's reference to all things Tyler, and a commemoration in words and photos of this groundbreaking doll. Entertaining and informative, The Tyler Wentworth Fifth Anniversary Album is a unique collection of facts, fiction and photos.
In this book, Tyler's storyline continues and is illustrated by new photographs featuring her and her friends in settings from their lives, such as Tyler's apartment and the fashion runway. Well-known contributors such as A. Glenn Mandeville, who traces Tyler's place in the history of the American fashion doll, and Louise Fecher, as well as fashion designer Timothy Gunn, discuss Tyler's importance in various arenas. Masterful photographers Ernest Padro-Compos and Barry Sturgill pay homage to the doll in beautifully styled pictures, exclusive to this book. The collector's reference section shows every production doll and outfit ever made, with identification information as well as collector's notes, including nearly every exclusive and one-of-a-kind.
Customer Reviews:
For the fashion hungry -- Tyler shows beautiful outfits........2007-04-09
This is a wonderful coffee table book loaded with great photos of Tyler, and her story. I love creating outfits, and having a fashion book filled with creative, gorgeous outfits that work is stimulating. Plus, sharing the book with my little friend who just loves to look at the dolls and clothes is a treat.
Worth the money.......2005-01-16
I don't collect Tyler Wentworth dolls but still loved the book. Lots of good pictures.
The essential reference for the Tyler (et al) collector.......2004-11-12
I find this book indispensible when trolling eBay for Tyler and family outfits and accessories. There are wonderful detail pictures of the outfits and dolls and special editions. The pictures show you what should have come with the doll or outfit originally. It provides edition sizes too and has saved me money by preventing me from bidding on partial outfits or dolls that are incomplete or have been modified. I have worn this hardback just about limp but it has such a strong binding and good quality paper that it is still stout. I wish Tonner would do a similar book for the Brenda Starr series when she has her 5th anniversary with Tonner.
A must have for any fashion doll collector!!!!.......2004-05-31
As a collector of Robert Tonner dolls, this book is a must have as a wonderful reference and history of his dolls. Photographs are gorgeous and wonderful details. I highly recommend this book and Amazon has a wonderful deal on it. This book is first class just like the Robert Tonner doll company!!! A++++++++++
Customer Reviews:
Another Great Book By Judith Izen!.......2004-01-14
The Collector's Guide to Ideal Dolls ID & Values 2nd ED by Judith Izen is another great book by this author. I have been looking for information on a Miss Revlon doll for years and I opened the box and right on the cover is the information I have been looking for. I am thrilled! Any doll collector or lover would love this book. Thanks Judy for another great job! Very fast shipping and a signed copy, it doesn't get any better than this!
Excellent Ideal on Dolls.......2002-11-03
Enjoyed this book and also the prompt manner in which it was delivered to me by userbro128. It was a used book and let me tell you it did not look used at all. Highly recommend the seller and the book to any one intrested.
Ideal Book.......2001-07-29
The majority of the pages in this 350-page book are loaded with color photos and information on the Ideal dolls manufactured from 1907 up through the 1980s. Most dolls are pictured in their original outfits and some photos are packages of the original outfits. Also included are photos of ads for specific dolls. The book starts with a short history of the Ideal Toy Co., while the back of the book gives more information on issue dates, characteristics, and current prices.
This book is a must have for those doll collectors that want to restore a doll to original condition.
A must have for doll collectors and dealers.......2001-03-25
Fabulous color pictures of all the dolls in the book- tons of dolls you will recognize and some you won't. Also features the manufacture marks you will find on dolls to identify them. Most of the dolls are shown in original outfits- some with original packaging and a small percentage are shown redressed. Complete with price guide.
Fabulous & Fascinating.......2000-04-25
I truly recommend this book, not merely for finding out your Ideal doll's monetary value, but more as a walk down memory lane. Being 56 years old, I remember growing up with many of Ideal's dolls. I especially enjoyed the brief mention of the Snuggles' doll and rocking horse(which many books on dolls leave out). So, if you are tired of reading dribble..., then snuggle up with this pictorial walk down memory lane.

you should remove the review previous to this one. it is not a review but a message to the book's author from an acquaintance of his, which renders the five stars meaningless and provides no useful service to your customers.

Dolls of the Art Deco Era 1910-1940: Collect, Restore, Create and Play
ASIN: 0875882714 |
Customer Reviews:
Great to see doll styles; NOT great that there's no color!.......2007-01-25
Yes, rated "3" instead of "5" because pictures are all black and white, no color. But to see features of dolls from all these artists, it's just fine.
Collector's Guide to Contemporary Artist Dolls.......2004-02-09
This book offers an overview of the concepts of "Art vs. Craft" and "Art Dolls". There are 40 artist interviews with many pictures, unfortunatly they are all black and white which is why I rated it low. There is also an artist's diary of the process of making a prototype doll.
Product Description
This stunning volume showcases more than 100 black dolls by 49 contemporary artists, including Americans Floyd Bell, Jennifer Canton, Richard and Jodi Creager, Marcella Welch and Goldie Wilson as well as international makers such as Brigitte Deval, Hildegard Gunzel, Philip heath and Annette Himstedt. In selecting the roster of artists for inclusion in the book, the authors Nayda Rondon, editor of Dolls magazine and Barbara A. Whiteman, founder and executive director of the Philadelphia Doll Museeum considered the originality and quality of each maker s work, and sought to provide an overview of this growing segment of the doll world. Ms. Whiteman s informative introduction and artist commentaries are well paired with Ms. Rondon s insightful biographies of each artist.

A Book full of information and Beautiful to look at!.......2006-10-10
If you are a "real" doll collector, you would have this book not only in your personal library but as the centerpiece on your console. The photos in this book are so gorgeous you are left breathless---your heart starts pumping as you see even more artists that you would just love to have in your collection. These photos most definitely place doll making as an art form up there with the Monets of the world. Let's not forget the biographies that attach the photos. This book is not boring but a page turner. I love, love, love this book. I plan to give them as gifts so I can bring non-doll collectors to the bright side! Dorothy-Dandridge.com
