Black Dolls: Proud, Bold & Beautiful

The book has great pictures and information.

Thank you!

I expect lot more from this book, it really did not meet my expectations.

Several prominent doll artists who create black dolls are featured in this full-color, hard cover, coffee table-style book. Some of the artists featured include Floyd Bell, Patricia Coleman-Cobb (whose work of doll art is featured on the front cover), Helen Kish, Lorna Miller-Sands, and Goldie Wilson (just to name a few). A small selection of dolls by each artist is included with each artist's biography.The forward by Barbara Whiteman, curator of the Philadelphia Doll Museum, is an added plus, as is the artist directory.Designed to provide information about those who create black dolls, the book does not provide doll value or reference information.[...]

If you are a "real" doll collector, you would have this book not only in your personal library but as the centerpiece on your console. The photos in this book are so gorgeous you are left breathless---your heart starts pumping as you see even more artists that you would just love to have in your collection. These photos most definitely place doll making as an art form up there with the Monets of the world. Let's not forget the biographies that attach the photos. This book is not boring but a page turner. I love, love, love this book. I plan to give them as gifts so I can bring non-doll collectors to the bright side! Dorothy-Dandridge.com
