A master craftsman.
A wonderful book with complete instructions for making collector-grade, period furniture. However, it's not for inexperienced woodworkers or those without good power tools. A lathe is essential for his beautiful turnings.The highly skilled author is a retired structural engineer and it shows inhis meticulously crafted works. ... Read more

The hardback is preferable
Having lost an older copy of this wonderfully illustrated book, I ordered the paperback, only to be disapointed by the xerox quality of the drawings.This book deserves the hardbound format because the artwork is exceptionally authentic.The poorly copied paperback is not worthy.

Everything you need to know about adobe construction
This little book, intended for children, shows readers of all ages how an abobe home is built, and what all the components are, including a glossary as you go along.Great little book.All children interested in worldcultures should read this book.

Beautiful book about SW architecture and culture for any age
An educational book for adults and children about the architectural aspects of Adobe construction and SW culture with correct names, pronunciations and explainations of terms such as latillas, santos, luminairas and nichos. It is a description of a real adobe dollhouse in New Mexico. It is a great educational experience. ... Read more

For the really serious dollhouse builder
This book gives measured drawings and building instructions for five different buildings:a cider barn, a forge, the "Swan Inn", a really large Georgian house and a water mill.These are not (with theexception of the Georgian house) your "typical dollhouse". Still, the buildings are charming, the directions are complete and youmight be TIRED of typical dollhouses.There are also many color photos offinished interiors, and a last chapter devoted to the workshop which coverssafety, tools and techniques.

great resource!!!!
This book has tons of great pictures, easy to follow instructions and an index of suppliers.It is great for ideas for your dollhouse and it is easy to build one from the book..... ... Read more

One of the most lovely dollhouse books I've ever seen.
This book is a chocolate bonbon of a dollhouse book.The pictures are wonderful, the descriptions are delightful.You'll be either green with envy of the owners of the featured houses, or inspired.

A Must Have!
Of all my miniature books, this one is the one that I always have handy.It is invaluable for the beginner and experienced miniaturist alike.The author shares hundreds of tips that are both clever and inexpensive.The photography is excellent and is especially inspirational to anyone doing a shop.Included are a grocery, fishmonger, millinery, pharmacy, bakery, hat shop, toy store, and antique shop.(I probably missed several).There are also houses and roomboxes.While this isn't a manual for particular projects, the ideas can easily be translated to your own settings.I wouldn't be without this book in my library. ...

I agree with the editorial review
It's a rather blaa book. Uninspiring.

This is the best, esiest pattern book for dolls ever!
The patterns in this book are simple to assemble especially for Barbie type doll clothes! The instructions are very clear and there is a wide variety of doll types accounted for. I have not been able to find a better book anywhere for making simple,fun, stylish doll clothes! ... Read more
