1980 Advertising Dolls rare book. By Joleen Robinson and Kay Sellers, 1980, 320 pages, very good condition. This book is considered The Bible for all advertising dolls up to 1980 and is no longer available. The book is outdated but the information and pictures are invaluable. L111x7. (s6)     1974 Treasures Of America – Great Book For Collector’s Of Antiques – 624 Pages – Possibly First Edition – Very Good Condition. Non-Fiction/Collector. L58X4.     This small out of print paperback by Wires, Schneider, and Mesre, titled "Zanesville Decorative Tiles" was published in Zanesville, Ohio in 1972.  32 pages, 9" x 6" in size, and filled with black and white photos of tiles and pottery. Covers American Encasutic Tiling Company, Herman Mueller, Leon Solon, Mosaic Tile Company, Weller tiles, and souvenir items.  A truly hard to find reference book.  Excellent condition - near mint.  American Art Pottery  by Dick Sigafoose - Another relatively new, terrific, hard back book on the market.  At least half of the items are tile, contrary to the title of the book.  Very different than "American Art Tile", as the author had different collecting interests.    If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, buy this as your "first" American art tile book!  272 pages, published by Collector Books in 1998.
