Book Description
#1 BEST SELLER FOR 30 YEARS!
The first, favorite, and most trusted price guide for all types of dolls is more colorful and reader-friendly in its 16th edition. It is organized into an "Antique" section and "Modern" section. The Antique section covers the manufacturers of bisque, china, wax, wood, cloth, and papier-mâché dolls from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The "Modern" section covers the doll artists and makers of composition, hard plastic, vinyl and more. The 16th Blue Book features an easy-to-use index arranged alphabetically by manufacturer and has over 500 photographs - all in color!
This reliable and authoritative doll price guide has been chosen by collectors as the #1 price guide they trust and have used for 30 years. The Blue Book is considered the "bible" with collectors and is the one doll book that is used whether you have one doll or an entire collection of antique or contemporary dolls.
This is the one book that doll collectors cannot live without!
Reader Reviews
There's not another book on the market that is better or more reliable for finding doll values than Jan Foulke's newest edition of the Blue Book of Dolls & Values. I research dozens of dolls every week and rare is the instance that I don't find exactly what I need in this little book. It is not meant to be an identification guide any more than a car blue book is meant to identify the make of a vehicle. Dolls are most easily identified not by appearance, but by markings. Dollmakers and Marks by Herlocher is a superb reference for identification and a must in every collector's and dealer's library. What Foulke's book will do is give the insurance or book value for the mint condition of most any doll you may run across once you've identified the manufacturer, and also includes basic information to help the reader understand what lowers the value from mint condition. I've painstakingly assembled a collection of all 16 volumes of this series because even though the prices in the older books are no longer accurate, different dolls are pictured in each, building a nice little reference library that I use extensively. My personal library includes well over 100 doll books, but if I were forced to choose only 2 that I could keep, it would be an easy decision for me - Jan Foulke's 16th Blue Book and Dawn Herlocher's Dollmakers and Marks!
