Most of my doll-related print media are periodicals. Doll photobooks tend to be doujinshi. They are hard to come across! If you want specific scans or patterns from any of these, please feel free to email me.
More BJD publications can be found here.
Volks News
Volks News mostly focuses on Super Dollfie and Dollfie Dream, but the magazine also includes information about their figures, models and garage kits.
Volks News can be purchased from either the international online store store, or Volks USA with free shipping to the US.
Doll releases and features for volumes 29-31, 34, 48, and 72-107 are listed here.
Dollybird
Dollybird is a (roughly biannual) periodical that shares information about dolls and events pertaining to them primarily in Japan. The areas of focus are DIY and collectible Asian fashion dolls, though playline releases and Western vintage dolls are featured as well. Listed here are the main features and patterns for each volume, though they all contain detailed information about various doll lines and current and upcoming releases.
In the United States, Dollybird can be purchased both in stores and online from Kinokuniya.

This is a special issue, a sort of sequel to vol. 8, which was also lolita themed.
