"This book is the attempt of one person with her family to leave pictures of some of their doll art forms and the written record of the accrued knowledge. The narrative begins with a personal analysis of doll collecting. It relates the developmental changes that occured through the impact of the hobby. A brief narrative of the Ackert activities previous to the creating of the cards explains the setting in which the enterprise began. A little explanation as to the possible future of the post cards seemed appropriate.". Signed by Author(s).
