To better serve the doll collecting community, particularly avid black-doll enthusiasts, Ms. Garrett has published her second black-doll reference book.  With full control over the project, maintenance of all rights, and zero restrictions with reference to words, pages, and/or illustrations, the book far exceeds the scope of her first book, containing 500 more illustrations and 273 more pages of information. 

The five-year process of compiling information on vintage-to-modern black dolls using her personal collection and those of fellow collectors, manufacturers, and renowned doll artists, resulted in a 449-page book with over 1000 references to black dolls.

The book's more compact size, 5.59 x  8.27 inches, allows for more affordable, FULL COLOR (not black and white, but FULL COLOR) printing.   Size-wise, it can conveniently accompany collectors to doll shows for at-a-glance doll identification and value reference! 

As a result of tremendous support from black doll lovers, the book is officially out of print.  Thank you for your support!   Pre-publication copies* which include a CD of Chapter 4 are still available at the following URL:  http://www.blackdollcollecting.com/store/index.html.

Peace and blessings.


*Prepublication copies are the first run of the book (limited edition) which contain approximately 10 pages of image/text discrepancies in chapter 4.  For this reason, a CD of chapter 4 with corrections, viewable with an Adobe Reader, will accompany the prepublication copy.
