Doll Books on Kindle – Part I
Hand Held Readers and The Internet have made available to collectors books and materials hitherto unavailable. I will be writing a small series of posts about doll books you can find on Kindle, Google, The Internet, Various Hand-Held devices and social media. Note that your previous guide discussed “The Doll Book” by Laura Starr, mentioned here as well, and also serialized it.
Many of these are FREE! I will let you know which ones. Samples on Kindle are always free, and are a great way to surf your interests without investing a lot of money. These are the doll related books out of my own 450 volume Kindle library. All can be found by title or author.
