Small, hardcover book, copyright 1969 by Avenel Books. Book and dust jacket are in very good condition. Pages have just slight yellowing and soil to page edges. No inside markings.
With patterns, diagrams, photographs and complete instructions, the authors of this book show you how to make a multitude of dolls, from the simplest stuffed stocking type to fully jointed professional looking dolls. You can knit dolls, sew dolls, carve dolls, assemble them from foam rubber, or model them from a plain putty like material that hardens when dry. Either soft or firm bodied dolls may be made fully mobile.
Once you have begun constructing dolls, you will not be able to resist the challenge of making more and more complex dolls. Special sections of the book on facial and body proportions will enable you to add artistic touches to your work.
