Collector's Guide To Ideal Dolls: Identification and Values Paperback – January 1, 1998

Judith Izen has tackled a large topic with a broad brush. There are books on some of the individual dolls that I now of, but as an overview of the entire product line with first person interviews This book cannot be beaten.

perfect

Would've like to see more on the 60s and 70s fashion dolls, Super Queens and rarities.

This was another Christmas gift to my daughter, so I did not review the contents. She reviews the contents in her search for additional dolls and is well pleased.

I am a doll collector so was important that I find out information. It has bee very helpful and could not do it without this book. Thanks

As described

Excellent book, tells the whole history of Ideal dolls. Many, many photos. Ideal had a lot of very popular dolls. Shirley Temple, Toni, Miss Revlon, Saucy Walker, Crissy, they are all in there and many more you probably have forgotten about.You will love this book!

There are many pictures of the more popular dolls that you can match to your doll for a short description and identification. I did like the inclusion of manufactured and/or patent year and the original price on some of the entries. The description of the dolls that I was interested in was not complete and the pictures didn't show the markings or identifying features.

Thi, s is a good book, plenty of colour pictures and some interesting information at the start of the book and throughout, Its a book you will keep referring back to.
