DOLL READER: Clearinghouse for Information on Dolls Bibliography
1973 to 1980
I'm still missing seven(7) issues from 1972 through 1978. There was a preview issue that came out before the 1973 Volume 1, Issue 1 premiere issue that was mentioned in the early issues. They were a black-and-white newsprint format. Anyone not knowing what they're looking at throws them away because they look like old newspapers! Doll Reader did collect many of the articles from this time period in a series of "Best of"s that I don't have copies of yet either. I finally found in the first issues Susan Sirkis articles and Ella DeHart referenced in several places - most advertisements for Ella's Barbie patterns. Needless to say, I geeked out. If you have any of the missing issues and are willing to part with them for the bibliography, please get in touch through my contact page.
