Description
A wonderful library of more than 185 long out-of-print reference books on all subjects related to the collecting of childhood dolls, toys, and ephemera – books whose content cannot be found on the internet, books which detail long-missing early collections, books who remind us of how and why we began collecting – are offered in this specialty auction. Their subjects range from Barbie to Bru, from toy soldiers to Kewpie, from costuming to coiffure, and from composition dolls to cloth dolls, and every conceivable subject in-between.
The books will be sold in Theriault’s popular new auction format “Ten-2-Go”, an online timed auction where every lot opens at $10.
