The Doll Repair Bible!

If you only buy one book on doll repair, it must be this one. It covers dolls from antique to modern, in laymens language. I have been repairing dolls for over 15 years, and learned almost everything from this one book. It has good diagrams and takes you through each process step by step. I highly recommend.
