Title: Not enough history
Product review: This is a beautiful book, and the pieces illustrated are variously charming, complex, and gorgeous. However, if you are more interested in older dolls than contemporary ones, there are very, very few photographs of historical pieces, maybe (not a scientific count) six to eight in the entire book. This is really a book on the modern industry and its techniques and artists, with only a 12 page history at the beginning to cover all the past. If contemporary dolls are your interest, you will be thrilled, but if you like older, traditional ones (not the Clintons and the Beatles), then it seems there may still be a need for another book to be written.
