Value ratings are given for collectibles, and the many materials used in the making of miniatures are detailed and explained. Books in both attractive sets are must reading for experienced collectors, as well as sources of inspiration for beginning collectors. Each book contains more than 50 beautiful full-color illustrations.Volume One: Miniature Dolls shows the work of leading artists in the field -- small, delicate figurines made with exacting attention to body and clothing detail. Volume Two: Miniature Accessories shows the most challenging aspect of dollhouse craft, accessories, which include modern-day and period household appliances. Volume Three: Miniature Furniture displays the very best examples of miniature period furniture, covering medieval times to the twentieth century.
