Customer Reviews

A guide book worth penny, if you DIY this is definitely one important book to have alongside others

I thoroughly enjoy researching any and all books that will help me understand how to restore, fix, repair antique/modern dolls. This guide is filled with easy to understand directions and wonderful photography in full color and b/w. The author is well trained in the craft of doll restoration and/or building a doll from parts or pieces.

Doll Repair review

This is a very informative book on all of the basics of doll repair as well as the care of various types of dolls. I ordered Carols Miracle Doll Cleaner to clean my hard plastic dolls that I recently bought on ebay and the product did a very good job of cleaning. The product was delivered quickly. Carol has written a manual that I would rec comend to the novice as well as those with repair knowledge. The photographs and diagrams are very nicely done . Carol has a site where she sells her products as well as other doll items. This is a very good book and I would buy it again.

I had my old doll from 1947 and in sad condition. This book gave me the info that I needed. You should see old Belinda now!

Good, but there is better.

I bought this book because you can never know too much about repairing dolls. Everyone has a hint or two that you haven't thought of yet. The best basic doll repair book out there, in my opinion, is still Marty Westfall's book on Doll Repair and Restoration. But, this book is a good basic start and has good pictures. Just not as detailed as you might need.

Great work book

This book had exactly what I needed to know to repair my 54-year-old doll. Although her restoration is incomplete, I feel that it gives me the knowledge to forge ahead and finish the job.
