MERRILL CLASSICS

     In the Spring of 1935 the Merrill Publishing Co. launched its 31 year
career of paper doll publishing with the "Wedding Of The Paper Dolls" book.
 This magnificient book was the beginning of the production of dozens of
quality books that included Babies, Children, War Themes, Weddings,
Occupations, Ballet, Ice Skating, Teens, Story Book Characters, Movies..
("Ziegfeld Girl" and two "Gone With The Wind" ) and numerous Movie Stars.

     Few uncut originals of the Merrill books exist today and those that do
are valued in some cases in the hundreds of dollars.  Since the Merrill paper
doll books are highly sought by collectors.....in 1989 I chose four
representative books to reprint as The Merrill Classics.  These books are the
1935 "Wedding Of The Paper Dolls,"  "Alice Faye" and Ziegfeld Girl" from 1941
and the 1942  "Roller Rhythm."  The books are approximately 80% of the
original size, the dolls are not die-cut and are sold as a set only.  The
"Ziegfeld Girl" is a Gift Edition when purchasing the Merrill Classics.

     A brief description of each book follows:


WEDDING OF THE PAPER DOLLS:  1935. Designed by Lucille Webster. 10 dolls
(Bride, Groom, 3 Bridesmaids, Maid Of Honor, 2 Flower Girls and Ring Bearer.)
