This book is a MUST FOR DOLL COLLECTORS!
Not only does it tell the wonderful story of Madame Alexander, but it is a great reference for dolls produced from the company. I highly recommend this hardcover book. You can find it online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and eBay, and at local used bookstores.
Thanks for the peek! This looks like a fabulous book!!
ReplyDeleteI have collected some Alexanders, too, in varying sizes and quality levels. I'm excited they've been revived yet again!
