This is a great doll book for all types of doll collectors. I have had this book since it was first published. I now purchase this book as gifts for beginner doll collectors. It gives the general knowledge of the early antique dolls up to Barbie. The Ultimate Doll Book should be in every doll collectors' reference library.

This book is very informative. There is a lot of history about different types of dolls. The doll illustrations are very good. It has great information for the Doll Collector. The 2001 Edition is the exact same book page by page. The only difference is the book cover is different.
The book is beautiful. It is loaded with detailed photographs and information. I am a novice, so I can't speak for the information being important for the seriously educated doll collector. But knowing DK, I imagine the book would still enlighten a seasoned collector. I love vintage dolls and was just interested in broadening my horizons. ANY DK book that I have bought, always becomes one of my treasured books to stay in my "library" forever! This is no exception. ANYONE, novice or collector would love this book.
Excellent book of the history of dolls. All color photographs throughout.
