- HORSMAN DOLLS: THE VINYL ERA 1950 TO PRESENTI feel that from a doll collector's prospective, this is one of the WORST ID AND VALUE GUIDES ON THE MARKET! Reasons-1. THE ACTUAL MONETARY VALUES THAT THIS AUTHOR GIVES TO THE HORSMAN DOLLS! EX-In "the collectors encyclopedia of black dolls by patikii and tyson gibbs", pete and polly are valued at $300-$400, in don's book, they're valued at only $30-$60! 2. ALL THE DOLLS IN THIS BOOK, are valued VERY LOW...3. which can only hurt collectors in the long run-INSURANCE WISE. I do agree though with ... Read More

- Good information, wonderful picturesThis is an enjoyable book, although I must agree with the first reviewer, who said that it is difficult to research a doll without first knowing it's name. I would prefer to find information based on era, material and so forth. It does have some interesting information on the Horsman family and company, and the pictures are priceless. After looking at my own photos and doing a little more research, I realize that many of my favorite dolls were Horsman, so this book should be excellent for reference.

- Any doll collector, particularly those of Horsman styles, must haveDon Jensen's HORSMAN DOLLS: THE VINYL ERA 1950 TO PRESENT includes a fine biographical sketch of Horsman and the dolls he created, then moves to the heart of the matter: color photos for identification and written descriptions which chart the changing styles, purposes and trends of these dolls. Any doll collector, particularly those of Horsman styles, must have this identification and value guide.

- After much antipation -- a little disappointed in this bookDon Jensen, known as the Horsman expert, has lots of good information in this book.
However, I found it harder to use to identify dolls. The dolls are listed in alphabetical order. Great if you know the doll's name, but not much help when you are trying to identify the doll you have.
I prefer break downs by era, type of doll, or material type. Putting them all in A-Z order makes for a slow process if you don't already know the doll's name.
