title: Dolls: A Collector's Guide
author: Olivia Bristol
description: Packed full of useful information, Dolls is the perfect reference book for the collector and doll-lover alike. Featuring over 400 dolls from all over the world, many of which have never been seen in print before -- from the earliest wood through to papier-mache, wax, bisque, cloth, plastic and vinyl -- Dolls looks at every aspect of buying, selling, and identification, and includes a price guide for every doll shown. It also looks at how to care for your dolls and at some of the clothes they wear.
