Customer Reviews

Strong attempt at describing "Dolls and Accessories 1910-1930", but needed more
I own the 2 previous books written by this author, (on the subject of "DOLLS AND ACCESSORIES"). Well, the 2 previous books by Zillner were much more complete. I would, thus, rate this "Volume 3" lower than the previous Zillner volumes on this subject.

WHY? ... because when the author tried to tackle the doll Eras "from 1910-1930", I think she bit off more than she could chew.

In my opinion she should have broken down the doll Era (ie: 1910-1930) in two parts and thus added more information. Either that, or she could have made this "Volume 3" more complete. The doll Era from 1910-1930 simply needed more coverage than attempted by Zillner.

Zillner has a great writing style. Her photos are always wonderful. So my only complaint , as stated above, is that Zillner just needed to make this book a bit longer and she should have included more dolls and especially more accessories from this doll Era.
