Royal Doulton Figurines

Great book for getting the current value of Royal Doulton items. Easy to use and very thorough.

The book is very good and has photos of all but the latest figurines. The prices in the book would have to be considered "full retail". I found many figurines for sale in mint condition for 1/2 the book price or less. It is well organized with easy indexing by name or number.

This volume is enormously helpful in identifying & valuing Royal Doulton Figurines. Sorted by series (e.g. HN or M) & series # (4-digit number following series) it is very easy to use! Also it has cross-references which are very helpful when you have a name/title instead of the series #. This book would have gotten a 5-star rating from me if it did not have missing HN series #'s, most of which correspond to animal figurines. Since I am interested in a FEW animals, it would have been nice to have them all in one volume! (I don't really want to buy ANOTHER reference just for the few animals I'm interested in!) Also, if you are a Bunnykins collector, that info is also missing from this volume. (I'm not, so it wasn't a problem for me.)

An extremely comprehensive book on Royal Doulton figurines for the beginning or advanced collector. Each HN series figure is pictured, described, and priced with artist noted. An excellent resource for appraising your collection. The company history section is fascinating. Well worth the price!

I use this book to establish a fair market value on my very large collection of Royal Doulton Figurines. It also is helpful when "shopping" for more of these items. I highly recommend this to all Doulton lovers.
