From the Back Cover
Doll lovers will be enthralled by the numerous colorful photographs of unusual antique dolls and the informative text of Collecting Antique Dolls. Originally published in German as Puppen Raritaten, this English language version has been augmented with an eight page introduction containing a wealth of common sense tips to doll collectors. With the structure of the main chapters, fashion dolls, doll automata, exclusive dolls and doll curiosities, the collector gains an excellent perspective of the wide range of old bisque heard. The descriptions of important collectors' criteria are suitable enough to convey helpful decisions in buying a doll or with starting a collection. These established facts through intensive research, as well as the large numbers of unique photographs of rare and beautiful dolls are owed to the author's immense involvement. A complete gallery of exceptional Kestner dolls will fascinate the reader. Also, very beautiful fashion dolls and technically highly interesting doll automata round off this truly wonderful book.
