A perfect dollshouse book
I need more than 5 stars to adequately describe just how good this book is. If you are even remotely considering building and/or decorating a Georgian or Regency dollshouse, you must purchase this book. It fills many gaps left by other books of its kind - where else would you learn how to build an authentic fire crane and spitjack for the kitchen, a service crane and lamp snuffer for the front fence, and downpipes progressively dated? His attention to period accuracy is unsurpassed, covering the development of items such as the kitchen range and toilet through the age and a host of other important features. Brian Long has saved me weeks of research, thoroughly exploring every room and household function and the associated equipage, which is a particular boon for builders of this kind of house who live outside of England. Although he gives many useful suggestions for doing your own research, all but the most particular of dollshouse perfectionists will not need any other source. Plans for several houses are included, (including the one on the cover)although many builders would also need some prior experience and a good book devoted to the topic. I wish a book like this existed for every period. Brian, if you're reading, please start planning a library of these. Begin with the Tudor period and just keep going! ... Read more

scam
this book does not even compare to other books on clay projects. It apparently hides behind a couple of religious quotes as a reason to over-charge for a minimal treatment of polymer clay projects.

One proud mom
If mom's are allowed to write a review, I would like to encourage other moms to work with their kids and help them achieve their dreams and goals in life. I am very proud of Joshua, and how far he has come in the 3 years he has been sculpting and teaching others. Joshua's book is excellent in design, lay-out, color, and easy to understand instructions for kids and adults. Joshua has even taught kids with learning disabilities to sculpt with wonderful results. If you are an amateur or a pro at sculpting, Joshua's book will be a delight to all who try their hand at his adorable critters.

An impressive book!
This book is a must-have for people of all ages who enjoy working with polymer clay. The instructions for making cute critters in this book are very easy to follow, and fun!Read more

ARave Review
Sewing Victorian Doll Clothes is a wonderful source book for historical costumes with a wide range of workable patterns.
Delightful and Helpful - a must for Heirloom sewing!
This is a wonderful book with many illustrations. There are extensive patterns, wonderful details, could go a little more in-depth with the patterns and have a little more variety of Victorian clothing. A wonderful book, it is a must for the heirloom sewing library!

This is the pattern book I have needed for years!
I have now tried most of the patterns in this wonderful book, and evenwith my limited sewing skills, I have been very pleased with my results.Ihave particularly enjoyed the tips for constructing clothes withoutpatterns.The simple smock dress idea works well for my Ginnys, as well asfor my composition baby dolls and small antique bisque dolls.I'm lookingforward to learning to make hats and purses.I have a stack of old leathergloves just waiting to be made into the darling shoes pictured in the lastchapter of the book. ...
