SUMMARY

Exploring the nexus of emotions, consumption and commodification that porcelain collectible dolls represent, A. F. Robertson tracks the rise of this multi-billion dollar market; interviews the women themselves; and visits their clubs, fairs and chat-rooms to understand what makes the dolls so irresistible. Lifelike but freakish; novelties that profess to be antiques; pricey kitsch: These dolls are the product of powerful emotions and big business.Robertson, A. F. is the author of 'Life Like Dolls The Collectible Doll Phenomenon and the Lives of the Women Who Love Them' with ISBN 9780415944519 and ISBN 0415944511.
