R. Lane Herron's price guide was one of my first "bibles" of doll identification. Clearly, the Blue Book series, originally by Jan Foulke, is the place to go for current market values, but Mr. Herron's guide is charming, enthusiastic and informative. His categories are not the standard ones in the field now... he includes paperdolls, for example... and it's not difficult to figure out where his own tastes in doll collecting lie. But, even after all these years, there are some dolls for which I have to go back to Herron's guide. There's also no arguing with his taste in dolls, which is refined and informed. It may not turn out to be the most-used volume in your doll reference library, but it's a valuable source with many black-and-white photos and covers some dolls that have been left out of more recent guides.
