THis book is the best I have ever seen .The subject is meant for more than a childs plaything and obviously a great hobby..

The photographs and explanations are excellent and anybody that is interested in a sedate hobby should include this as a reference book...

Great Dollhouse Guide!

This is a wonderful book with many great ideas for making dollhouses. It explains each type of house from the most prominent eras. Tudor, Georgian, Regency, Victorian, Edwardian, and onward just to name a few. It is clearly set up and a joy to read. There are many great color pictures to go along with the text.

big dolls house book

Pretty good book. It has lots of pictures and ideas in it for your own doll house. I wish that I had seen the table of contents before I bought it. It didn't have much victorian stuff in it.
