Please bring in 17th or 18th books Review: Simply the Best! - 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!

Excellent Identification Manual
This book completes my collection of all Foulke's Blue Books and is a valuable, concise, yet comprehensive reference for the serious doll collector. Basic information about each manufacturer, dates of production, and sizes and types of dolls are presented in a well-organized format, and the book is liberally illustrated with clear photos. Due to ongoing fluctuations in realized online auction prices, the Blue Book values are no longer firm, but still serve as general guides for comparative pricing.

Versatile and Accurate
I have always wanted what I see in the professional photos with the black and white measure squares that show up so well in photos of objects. I love these very durable relatively thick plastic scales. And there is quite a variety, in cm and mm, different shapes, and subdivisions. They are perfect!

I found my dolls
It met more expectations than I thought it would. A little outdated for true values but help with identification of dolls was excellent.

Glad I found a few bottles.
No dislikes at all. It's hard to find these books. Not many of them around to purchase, except on Amazon.

索引から引くにしても見やすく、アルファベット順に 整理して並べてあるので、たとえ英語が苦手でも苦に ならないだろうと思います。 なにより、オールカラーの写真がきれい。非常に分か りやすく分類されていて、見ただけでカテゴリが分か るようになっているのも良いと思います。

Un livre très intéressant ! Les fabricants , les moules, les tailles, plein de photos et des cotes. Même si les prix ont baissé depuis cette version, ça donne tout de même une idée.
