Customer Reviews

Great book.

This book has those things that are very hard to find: excellent plans for doll-sized furniture and good instruction on how to make them.

A Fine reference book in a limited field

In a field with no published works on making fine doll furniture, this is a gem. Keep in mind that these plans are for 20-30 inch dolls. The basic information is explained, but some basic woodworking skills will be needed. The measurements are quite valuable and illustrated plans are good, and one should take note of the doll sizes that will match the scale. All the furniture plans are colonial reproductions. If time and care is taken using these plans, very fine heirlooms can be created for those little girls in the family.
