i need other suggestions! i know it's a long shot but i'm begging here!

Abebooks: New & Used Books, Textbooks, Rare & Out of Print Books has it! It's actually called Small Dolls of the 40s and 50s, I think that's why you can't find it. Abebooks is a great resource for any rare or out of print book you can't find on amazon, I get most of my dissertation books there.

thanks vanjor....i found that one but there's actually one for the 50s and 60s too that i can't find. she specifically hinted for that one since since her collection mainly consists of 50s and 60s era dolls.

i ended up ordering a doll repair book and a different 50s/60s encyclopedia. i swear the woman puts my fashion habit to shame with these dolls and their related forums. makes me feel better.

Have you tried Powells.com?

Or alibris.com? (I think that's it. I know it's Alibris.) I've been able to find hard-to-find books there.
