The Collector's Guide to Ideal Dolls ID & Values 2nd ED by Judith
Izen is another great book by this author. I have been looking for
information on a Miss Revlon doll for years and I opened the box and
right on the cover is the information I have been looking for. I am
thrilled! Any doll collector or lover would love this book. Thanks
Judy for another great job! Very fast shipping and a signed copy,
it doesn't get any better than this!

Reviewer: "sher10882" (Soldotna, Alaska United States)
Enjoyed this book and also the prompt manner in which it was delivered
to me by userbro128. It was a used book and let me tell you it did
not look used at all. Highly recommend the seller and the book to
any one intrested.
Ideal Book, July 28, 2001
Reviewer: Sharon Freeman (Schuylkill Haven, PA USA)
The majority of the pages in this 350-page book are loaded with color
photos and information on the Ideal dolls manufactured from 1907 up
through the 1980s. Most dolls are pictured in their original outfits
and some photos are packages of the original outfits. Also included
are photos of ads for specific dolls. The book starts with a short
history of the Ideal Toy Co., while the back of the book gives more
information on issue dates, characteristics, and current prices.
This book is a must have for those
doll collectors that want to restore a doll to original condition.
A must have for doll collectors and dealers, March 24, 2001
Reviewer: A reader
Fabulous color pictures of all the dolls in the book- tons of dolls
you will recognize and some you won't. Also features the manufacture
marks you will find on dolls to identify them. Most of the dolls are
shown in original outfits- some with original packaging and a small
percentage are shown redressed. Complete with price guide.
Fabulous & Fascinating, April 24, 2000
Reviewer: Pepita Hernandez (Jersey City, NJ, USA)
I truly recommend this book, not merely for finding out your Ideal
doll's monetary value, but more as a walk down memory lane. Being
56 years old, I remember growing up with many of Ideal's dolls. I
especially enjoyed the brief mention of the Snuggles' doll and rocking
horse(which many books on dolls leave out). So, if you are tired of
reading dribble..., then snuggle up with this pictorial walk down
memory lane.
A Delightful Historical View of Dolls Produced by Ideal Toys,
January 16, 2000
Reviewer: Laura (Seattle, WA)
As a collector of Ideal's "Tammy", I was delighted to purchase
this book and learn more about the Ideal Toy Company and see the beautiful
dolls visioneered and produced by Ideal. The book provides a chronologic
history of Ideal, complete with manufacturing methods pioneered by
Ideal, and gives you stunningly beautiful full color photos of well-known
and not-so-well known dolls made by Ideal. One of the saddest parts
of this book was the description of the downfall and disintegration
of Ideal Toys in the 1980's. Even if you don't collect dolls, but
wish to learn how Ideal lost to big conglomerates, this is the reason
to purchase this book! Judith has lovingly brought together the reasons
we collectors of Ideal items cherish and preserve the legend of Morris
Michom's Ideal Toy Company.
I love this book!, March 2, 1999
Reviewer: A reader
This book has it ALL! Great pictures and tons of information on the
dolls we loved as kids, and wish we still had today! If you like dolls,
you will enjoy this book! This is also very helpful when you are 'cruising'
the online doll auctions!!!
Very detailed, great photos, August 26, 1997

This book is very well designed and laid out. Beautiful pictures and
descriptions. Was such a pleasure taking a trip down memory lane.
Loved the history behind these dolls and their creators. I highly
recommend this book to any beginning or experienced collector. Even
if you just want to remember your childhood!
