This is such a fun book! Lots of good history about each decade beginning in the early twentieth century in addition to useful information about the featured dolls. The photos of the dolls are beautiful.

While the book did rely somewhat on text rather than images, it was still an enjoyable and informative read.

A nice jaunt down memory lane.

Informational read that discusses the history about certain well-known dolls in various eras/decades. Along with some fun facts about the diffent dolls, the editors of the book included typical prices that people can expect to pay/get if buying/selling. Some of the dolls included were Kewpie dolls, Shirley Temple dolls, Campbells Kids, Raggedy Ann and Cabbage Patch Kids. I was surprised that Blythe was not in the book--although she was really around for a brief amount of time originally.
