"Ball jointed doll making guide" ISBN 978-89-31-7442-5
Has an unusual step of mold making with plaster then using Fando clay. Has patterns in the back for the doll and a dress and shows how to make a wig cap but might challenge an absolute beginner who's never messed with clay and plaster.
ISBN 89-5624-242-9 I call this one "Pink Bow"
A bit more beginner friendly, could be used in place of the Yoshida or Alice book, has a novel approach to making the core which can be made a bit more "green". No patterns but a bit more step by step, has a face-up guide and a rather useful way of prepping loose hair for wefting.
