The Handbook of Doll Repair and Restoration was written by Marty Westfield in 1979, published by Crown Publishers in New York. It is a hardcover book with dust jacket and is in mint condition with no rips, writing, or damage.

This helpful, practical book contains doll restoration methods that have proved successful for many years to the author. No other book comes close to providing such exquisitely detailed step-by-step directions and illustrations on all phases of doll restoration: setting stationary and sleep eyes, restringing, refurbishing old wigs and making new ones, repairing ball-jointed bodies, cleaning and repairing kid bodies, making cloth bodies, mending chips and cracks, replacing missing fingers and toes, and coping with just about every other kind of damage. Even the doll owner who wants to learn only one or two of thse procedures will find the book well worth it's cost. And if they learn to restore theeir own dolls to full health, they may find themselves embarked on a profitable new career as other doll owners seek them out.
