Simply the Best!
27. November 2004
There's not another book on the market that is better or more reliable for finding doll values than Jan Foulke's newest edition of the Blue Book of Dolls & Values. I research dozens of dolls every week and rare is the instance that I don't find exactly what I need in this little book. It is not meant to be an identification guide any more than a car blue book is meant to identify the make of a vehicle. Dolls are most easily identified not by appearance, but by markings. Dollmakers and Marks by Herlocher is a superb reference for identification and a must in every collector's and dealer's library. What Foulke's book will do is give the insurance or book value for the mint condition of most any doll you may run across once you've identified the manufacturer, and also includes basic information to help the reader understand what lowers the value from mint condition. I've painstakingly assembled a collection of all 16 volumes of this series because even though the prices in the older books are no longer accurate, different dolls are pictured in each, building a nice little reference library that I use extensively. My personal library includes well over 100 doll books, but if I were forced to choose only 2 that I could keep, it would be an easy decision for me - Jan Foulke's 16th Blue Book and Dawn Herlocher's Dollmakers and Marks!

Misses the mark in several categories
10. Mai 2006
Although the Blue Book is the avid doll collectors' favorite price guide, it contains numerous categories that have not been updated for quite a number of years. China, parian, papier mache, and wooden, some of the earliest dolls in existence, have been gaining in popularity for several years now and the market prices, both at auction and online have been rising considerably. The Blue Book has not caught up with this trend.
Also, it would be extremely helpful if there were a comprehensive section that described the methods used in compiling the information as well as the sources of this information. Some of the prices are so far off the mark in actual market prices realized, that it makes the professional wonder if the numbers are merely picked out of blue sky.
The book is well structured and is the easiest to use on a daily basis, of all the price guides, however, serious updating and a description of the price compilation process, would improve it immensely.

Blue Book Dolls and Values, 16th Edition
20. November 2003
I have been collecting dolls for over 25 years and very few were listed in this book. I bought the book under the premise that it was a guide to ALL dolls and could give an accurate value of the doll. However, what I found was a very one-sided book with doll pictures belonging to Jan Foulke and those dolls seemed to be listed at a higher value, meaning her book is a platform to sell her own collection. Needless to say, I purchased the book on a Tuesday and returned it on Wednesday. I WOULD NOT RECOMMED THIS BOOK TO ANY DOLL COLLECTOR! The book I recommend is DOLL VALUES - ANTIQUES TO MODERN.
