Hopi Kachinas: The Complete Guide to Collecting Kachina Dolls

ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO I WAS IN ARIZONA WITH FRIENDS WHO WERE SHOPPING FOR A KACHINA. " WHAT'S A KACHINA", I SAY??? ,I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN OWNING A KACHINA. I PICKED UP THIS BOOK, GLANCED THROUGH IT AND ENDED UP BUYING A 15"TALL KACHINA," DANCING BEAR." I (and my friends) ACTUALLY BELIEVE THE KACHINA PICKED ME. I SELECTED SIX 2-3 INCH KACHINAS. THE OWNER OF THE SHOP GAVE THEM TO ME (free), REDUCED THE PRICE OF "DANCING BEAR" AND SHIPPED THEM ALL HOME ( NY ) FOR ME AT HIS COST ............ P.S. MY FRIENDS DIDN'T FIND ONE. THE KACHINAS IN THIS BOOK STOLE MY HEART.
