The New Dolls' House Do-It-Yourself Book in 1/12 and 1/16 Scale
In this is update of their decade-old title ( LJ 4/15/83), the authors have applied current technology and materials to the craft--e.g., they descibe a clever technique to create bedspreads, rugs, and matching wallpaper using laser printers. While the previous book focused on 116 scale, in this volume all plans and patterns include the more popular 112 scale. The first seven chapters describe how to plan, build, decorate, and furnish the house, while the remaining sections contain specific projects, including gardens and dolls. Dimensions are in inches, but, unfortunately, sources are British. Still, the many original tips and tricks, and the suitability of most furniture projects for beginners, make this a good introduction to a popular hobby.- Patricia B. Brown, Navistar Corp.
