great advice for hobby novice

This is a truly wonderful resource for a beginner such as myself. Having recently been gifted with a hand-crafted dollhouse (made in high-school shop class by a local teenager) I had no idea where to begin. This book gave me so many wonderful ideas and so much very helpful how-to advice that I wish I could do a dozen houses.

another "ultimate" hit

This book is a fine representative in the "ultimate" series. It is entertaining, informative, and has wonderful illustrations of historical dollhouses. It will interest several audiences: the historian, the collector of antiques, and the hobbyist, who will find good ideas for building and furnishing his or her own dollhouse.

Great Book For Miniature Enthusiasts!

I purchased the original edition of Jean Nisbett's book years ago and absolutely loved it! There are lots of beautiful color photos throughout and useful tables in the book. She provides a handy metric conversion table, a fine description of the different periods of which most dollhouses are designed and decorated, and offers many projects for dollhouse components and accessories. I haven't yet looked through her revised edition, but I'm sure it can only hold more wonderful pieces of information, guidelines and ideas. Inspiring and useful!

Great Book!

This book is wonderful to look at and very helpful. Especially if you want a period look or a very english look to your dollhouse, which is just what I was looking for. Great value for the money. I find myself looking through it all the time.

Great starter guide to the world of dollhouses!

I am building a dollhouse for my daughter and this book was invaluable. I wasn't sure about a few things, like painting the house. She told the reader what is best to do at what time. She also gave some great ideas to make cheap furniture, etc. It is definitely worth it to buy this book because it gives you a good overview of this fascinating hobby!
