In 1964 Lifetime Career Schools offered a course to become a doll doctor through a home study course. This is that course rewritten and updated for the modern reader. It has been expanded with some new chapters and additional material. The book has been organized so that the doll doctor can easily find what he or she is looking for and learn the skills that are needed to repair and make dolls of all kinds. The book has a wealth of information for anyone about dolls even if you do not plan on becoming a doll doctor.
