You are looking at a two-volume book set on collectible celebrity dolls including their values:
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CELEBRITY DOLLS by John Axe, Hobby House Press, Maryland, 1983.
This early out-of-print book “features biographies of more than 750 celebrities, with insightful and fascinating particulars of their lives, their careers and the causes that prompted manufacturers to make their likeness in doll form. The dolls themselves are rendered from a wide variety of materials, including bisque, papier-mâché, composition, cloth, plastic, celluloid, and vinyl. The main portion of the encyclopedia is set forth in encyclopedia fashion. It lists each celebrity in encyclopedic fashion. It lists each celebrity and all the dolls that were made of the celebrity. There are also special entries that address dolls that were made as a series or a set, such as the characters from a movie or a television show, a singing group, or a historical collection.” This book is the classic standard reference for all doll collectors.
