I adore this book. I have several books on dollmaking, especially cloth dolls and I find this one especially useful. It is chock-full of pictures and ideas that you might never have thought of. It also includes a sort of "course", if you will, in the back of the book to get you started on many different ways to make dolls from primitive to clay,etc. I find that I bring this book out frequently and will be purchasing the author's other titles as well.
I just love the book. it has a lot of information for both: for people who just started to make dolls as for ones who already make them. I personally got several fresh ideas on faces and hairs. I just think that there is not so much information on body making. Book has A LOT of terrific pictures of beautiful character dolls of many great artists in the field of doll making. Great book for very good price. Very happy that I got it, for a while I just don't need another book in field of doll making.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Anatomy of a doll is a good book. I'm an old doll maker and this book even taught me some new tips. Ever wonder how a doll is made on the inside? Well you'll learn "how to" with this book. Alot of illustrations,(some step by step) Great hints and ideas. If you'll a doll maker then this book is a must. Just a great source of information as well as eye candy.
Even though this book is over a decade old, the dolls and techniques are a wonderful representation of this art form. It covers all styles, from impressionist versions to the fully realistic renderings of Lisa Lichtenfels. I had taken it out from the library and didn't want to part with it. There are so many dolls with fantastic detailed pictures, you will find inspiration or just sheer eye candy without a doubt.
Photography is wonderful! Very easy reading. Purchased the book because I'm taking a doll making class at my local senior citizen center. Decided to buy the book on e-Bay because of the great price.
