2ND PRICE GUIDE TO PINCUSHION DOLLS
by  Susan Endo, self-published, Covina, CA, 1990.
Chapter topics include:  Goebel, Dressel and Kister, marked, heads, wigs, full figures, and accessories.  This is the second book on the subject by this author, who writes, “As in my first book on pincushion dolls, the purpose of this book is to give the collector and dealer some guidelines as to the prices of pincushion dolls and related items.  It is also the intent of this book to expose to the collector and dealer the vast different styles of pincushion dolls that were made.”  Here is a thorough-going pictorial presentation with almost no essay-style discourse, apart from brief remarks on criteria for assessing condition and quality.  Photography is in black and white with in-depth captions that include information about marks as well as maker, date, color, subject, and a price range good for date of publication. An index of numerical marks referenced to pages in the text rounds out this essential treatment of pincushion dolls.
