Cami, you raise a lot of really good points. I also don't believe books should be changed to create new products. I raised the idea because, sad to say, I think it's something AG would do.

I do worry that the books are being downgraded because so many of the accessories drawn from them are being retired. When my dd played with these dolls, the accessories were a huge draw, even more so than the clothes or furniture. She loved being able to see and touch the very things that were talked about in the books.


Overall, I'm just so disappointed that AG doesn't seem to have any special plans for the 20th anniversary. I can't help but wonder if that's because it would turn the spotlight back on Pleasant Rowland and remind people of how things were when she was in charge.
