The best miniatures book EVER !!!!!
This stunning book has absolutely EVERYTHING to help you create, not only the best looking dolls house dolls I have ever seen, but also a fabulous bridal salon, and totally awesome little accessories such as lingerie, floral arrangements and even wedding cakes that look good enough to eat!
Somewhat misleading
This is a very nice book is you are into dolls. There are lots of pretty pictures and good directions. More than a third of it's content is devoted to making doll dresses. If you count the many pages included that cover the bride's accessories(shoes, bouquet, champayne glass, veil; that sort of thing), then I would state that the majority of the book is about the doll. There is very little on the settings for weddings.

List Price
I'd like to point out - the list price on the back of the book is 3.95, NOT 5.95.

A Fine reference book in a limited field
In a field with no published works on making fine doll furniture, this is a gem. Keep in mind that these plans are for 20-30 inch dolls. The basic information is explained, but some basic woodworking skills will be needed. The measurements are quite valuable and illustrated plans are good, and one should take note of the doll sizes that will match the scale. All the furniture plans are colonial reproductions. If time and care is taken using these plans, very fine heirlooms can be created for those little girls in the family.

a must-have-book
this was my first dollshousebook ever, and still is my most favorite one, very claer instructions-foto's.

In a class by itself.
The only book that shows you how to createluxurious Colefax & Fowler interiors in miniature. 'The Yellow Drawing Room' is a superb variant of Nancy Lancaster's famous, full-scale classic. If you like stately Englishhouses, this book is a Must. Not a book for beginners.
