Offered here is a lovely early copy of Paper Dolls: Their History and How to Make Them by Edith Flack Ackley — a 1939 Third Impression published by J. B. Lippincott Company of Philadelphia and New York.
Edith Flack Ackley was a well-known American doll-maker, designer, and author whose work has earned a devoted following among collectors of early craft, dollmaking, and paper-doll history. This title combines an engaging overview of paper-doll traditions with detailed instructions and charming illustrations for creating your own dolls, costumes, and accessories.
This edition is out of print and not often seen, especially in such solid condition. To my knowledge, there are currently no other copies of this book available for sale anywhere. This is a wonderful piece for collectors of early dollmaking books, vintage crafts, or Ackley’s work. It will be shipped with care.
