I love this book! | | Review Date: November 27, 1998 | | Reviewer: upsy-downsy@msn.com, New York, NY | | This book filled my burning desire to know everything about dollhouses & furniture from the last 50 years. There are no gaps of missing information or omitions of important items in this detailed and comprehensive book. Quite a relief after seeing an army of inadequate collector books flood the market. I'll have hours of fun reading this. My only complaint is some of the photos are dark or of poor color quality. I want to view these things in their full glory. |
The BEST comprehensive book on contemporary dollhouses. | | Review Date: July 21, 1998 | | Reviewer: l.lennex@morehead-st.edu, Morehead, KY | | Zillner has actually answered burning questions I've had on dollhouses and their furnishings. This is by far the BEST reference I've seen in 25 years of collecting. I highly recommend the book. |
Superb reference book, one of a kind in its class. | | Review Date: February 9, 1998 | | Reviewer: chorner@manchesterus.com, Oak Ridge, New Jersey (USA) | | After searching for a reference book of this type for many months, I finally discovered this book through the internet. I have over 50 collectible reference books in my library and this one I would rate at the very top. A comprehensive, beautifully photographed, helpful reference guide. |
A walk down the memory lane of my childhood! | | Review Date: August 7, 1998 | | Reviewer: , | | This book is jam-packed with useful info, great pictures, and a very enjoyable writing style. I found myself constantly saying "I had that -- I remember that -- my friend had that one!" The book has been my constant companion ever since it arrived. What's more, it has sparked a new interest in collecting the old tin litho houses from the 50s and 60s -- items I had all but forgotten when I moved on to 1" scale wood miniatures. Thank you for a truly remarkable book, one which many of my friends will be enjoying, too. |
Having this book is like owning a museum. | | Review Date: December 27, 1997 | | Reviewer: bmurph@epix.net, Scranton, Pa. | | This is the most complete collection of dollhouses and furniture I have ever seen. The illustrations are beautiful, and the text is very detailed. |
