Misleading title, but a nice surprise January 2, 2004

This is a comprehensive book about Girl Scout dolls that even has sections on paper dolls, stuffed animals, figurines and pins, all relating to the Girl Scouts organization. Included are doll sections on Camp Fire Girls and Blue Birds, International Girls Guides, as well as Girl Scout doll clothing. Even though I bought this book because I thought it was about looking ("scouting") for old dolls, and I don't really have a special interest in Girl Scout dolls, I found it interesting. It includes a history of the Girls Scouts and many beautiful photographs of different manufacturer's Girl Scout dedicated dolls and products from 1917 to 2002 with current values.
