Madame Alexander Collector's Dolls II by Patricia R. Smith (1981, Hardcover)

I really love the collectors books on Madame Alexander by Pat Smith. I was particularly looking for this early (1981) book because it has the older 8" dolls (from the 50s) with all of their original day dresses. The photos are in black and white and maybe are not so perfect as the recent fabulous books done in color but the information is impeccable. It shows the suitcase sets with wardrobes. OH they are fabulous, catalog reprints show the exact outfits included in each with the dolls as they were originally sold and some with lovely suitcases from Louis Vuitton. Included are so many of her dolls with the wonderful information such as Elise, Cissy, Cissette, Lissy, Binnie, Bonnie, Brebda Starr, Polly, Jacqueline, Kelly, Kitten, Maggie Mixup, Little Women Series and so much more you will just love this book. If you are a Madame Alexander collector and appreciate the beauty of her work, especially when the company and the product was the best, you will adore this wish book.
