Here are some pages from the book "Paper Dolls, Their History and How to Make Them" by the author Edith Flack Ackley.

  2. Thanks for sharing this portion of the book with us. It's truly priceless to have this available to read on your blog. Just checking on Amazon and not going any further, price of the book starts at $60. With that in mind, I'm glad you shared it with us and I didn't have to shell out that kind of money, hehe.
