The Encyclopedia of Regional Dolls of the World by Marjory Fainges (2001, Hardcover)

I purchased it for the purpose of identifying a collection of foreign made dolls that I had purchased and wished to list on EBay. It provided some help, I was able to identify a number of regions and occasionally a doll maker. It speaks a great deal about the customs and heritage of different regions. I liked that it was set up alphabetically, if you thought that a doll looked as if it came from Romania, it was easy to look up. It was a good book but did not cover the subject as well as I thought it would and that's probably my shortcoming. There doesn't seem to be an all inclusive book about dolls in any region of the world.

fine book, very pleased, thank you very much, zeer hartelijk bedankt voor dit uitstekende boek, wat valt er verder nog te zeggen. Absurd dat ik in een voor mij vreemde taal 100 letters moet schrijven. Dus nog en keer: zeer tevreden.
