I found a great batch of doll collecting books at the estate auction this week.  Looks like all THREE cases are reference books from a Racine Wisconsin Doll Shop.  Excellent reference, these cover everything from collecting French fashion dolls to fixing dolls (VCR).  If you collect, repair, or sell dolls, these are the books for you.  I will price them well below their original value.  Most are in excellent shape, a few have issues which I will let you know about in detail. 

Since all the latest prices are on line, you still can use these as reference and ID as they are all very detailed and extensive.

This is a reprint of Doll Reader articles from 1975 to 1981 by various writers.  

Lots of wonderful articles here: A doll Christmas, Dolls in southern France, Lady dolls, decorated china heads, Tammy-doll you love to dress, Gerber baby doll, Tiny Tears, French mechanical toys in 1919, Bubbles, Baby Grumpy, collectible Patsy dolls, Bear facts, American toy fair 1978, leather mystery dolls, dools of the grand duchess of Russia, China dolls, Lenci dolls, the English costume dolls of Ann Parker and much much more.  Must be 100 articles and pictures here.

Includes some wonderful color and black and white pictures too.

Published by Hobby House Co.   It is a softcover book with pp. 398 Measures 8 1/2 x 11".

Condition:    good for its age.  Spine seems tight but one colored photo has come loose, other pages seem in there good and tight.  Wear to spine, edges, and corners have a little bit of a curl. Scuffing on covers. Pages slightly yellowed. Only writing is owner's name.

Excellent mix of articles from Doll Reader magazine. Must be 100 here for your reading pleasure.  Not the prettiest copy but heck it is 20 years old and came from a doll shop.

NOTE ON SHIPPING:  US, Media mail is a good way to ship these glossy books which tend to be a bit heavy.  A faster alternative would be a priority flat rate box, which would hold quite a few of these little beauties.  INTERNATIONAL: these are heavy but priority flat rate boxes will hold quite a few for a shipping rate of approximately $25-30.  Since each book originally sold for that amount, if you pick up a dozen of these, you are still money ahead.  We can discuss best way to ship if you email and indicate which ones you are interested in. 

IMPORTANT:  For USA buyers, second item ships free and free insurance for any item(s) over $20.  Confirmation included.  Returns accepted but please contact me first to discuss the problem.  All items covered completely against loss in the mail whether you buy insurance or not. 

International buyers welcome, but payment by Paypal only (contact me if a problem).
