Many books helped me advance artistictly. Some of these books contain lots of  information about dollmaking and successfull Ame- rican and European doll artists.This certainly encouraged me in pursuing my goals. A few books I can't do without!  Dollmaking One Artist's Approach by the late Robert McKinley; Fantastic Figures by Susanna Oroyan; Dollmaking by E.J. Taylor and, The Doll By Contemporary Artists by authors Krystyna Poray Goddu and Wendy Lavitt. I also own other reference books on history of costume, history of toy, and history of dolls, that I enjoy to look through.
