Vintage Doll Collection Reference Guide: Collector’s Guide to Dolls of the ’60s & ’70s
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009Have you come across any one who says he or she does not love dolls? History is witness to such statements like “Oh, she is a doll!” and “She is as cute as a doll”, which go on to show that any statement associated with a doll is a compliment or an encomium to the person under description. There are individuals, irrespective of gender, who collect dolls too as avidly as they would collect stamps, pictures, toys, coins, books and records or anything that catches human fancy.
There have been museum and galleries attributed to dolls from all corners of the world depicting the culture and customs of the regions they have been collected from. Good looking dolls not only make a cute picture and add to the beauty of the aesthetics, but they also fill the hearts of the onlookers with warmth and love. Young girls are invariably known to grow up playing with dolls. Mothers, too, believe that buying dolls for their little girls teach them the emotion of loving and caring.
There have been umpteen numbers of books dedicated to dolls alone. This book called
- Collector's Guide to Dolls of the 1960s and 1970s: Identification and Values, Vol. 2
by Cindy Sabulis, should serve as a good reference book for all doll lovers and collectors. Just like her previous volume, this book too with information about vintage and antique dolls, also consisting of characters from old fables, does not disappoint the readers and the doll collectors and carries all descriptions meticulously arranged, including the sources and the manufacturers’ details. For those who have not heard and or seen the dolls of that era, this book should come as a treat and the colored photographs are a visual treat. Compactly readied, this book happens to be an “easy carry” too. Priced under just $23, this reference book is a must buy for all doll lovers.
