Summary: A Delightful Historical View of Dolls Produced by Ideal Toys
Review: 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.

Summary: A must have for doll collectors and dealers
Review: 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.

Summary: Ideal Book
Review: 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.
