E.J. Taylor's book is a quiet little gem and a lovely and unintimidating introduction to dollmaking. The clear instructions and and beautiful line drawings encourage the reader to attempt several types of dolls including a polymer clay doll, rag doll and a stocking doll as well as others. Simple straight-forward instructions for pouring a wax doll are even included. Anyone considering making a doll would do well to invest $10.00 for this low-key but very charming and helpful book. It remains my favorite on the subject.
