What's coming next? That's a question we often hear from eager collectors. So here's a sneak preview of some of the titles we'll be publishing throughout 2024. Several are re-issues of sets that were long ago self-published by the artists. Thanks to our agreements with the artists and their estates—as well as the graphic wizardry of Julie Allen Matthews—we're able to offer a wonderful variety of art and subjects reformatted into collectible paper doll books. These titles include Ladies at Leisure, Art Deco Bride and Lord Robert: The Queen's Favorite by Sandra Vanderpool; and Expressions of Erté and European Folk Costumes Vol. 1 by Deanna Williams.
Marilyn Henry's classic star paper dolls are highly desired among collectors, and this fall we'll have her beautiful Barbara Stanwyck book. At the request of Marilyn and her family, we'll be re-issuing some of her out-of-print star books originally issued by B. Shackman. I have the gorgeous original art boards for all of those books, and it's a dream to look through them. Marilyn's Stanwyck portrait was recently featured on the cover of our Paperdoll Review magazine issue #90.
Another classic star book to look forward to is Legendary Film Actresses by Eileen Rudisill "Rudy" Miller, featuring four mega stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Rudy will debut the book at the Indianapolis Paper Doll Convention this August, and it will be available on paperdollreview.com around the same time.
Also debuting at the convention is Kwei-lin Lum's Jazz Baby, featuring a fabulous flapper named Babe and her cool and clever wardrobe referencing the Deco lines of the Jazz era with a fun flair from Kwei-lin's imagination. Staying in the same era, Alina Kolluri created a darling wardrobe for seven little dears in Deco Kids. They'll be the cat's pajamas in sailor suits, pretty plaids, fancy frocks and polka dots.
Keep an eye on paperdollreview.com for these books and more!
