THE ULTIMATE TEDDY BEAR BOOK by Pauline Cockrill. Introduction by Paul and Rosemary Volpp
"The book charts almost a century of lovable teddies, from the first German stuffed bears, to such famous personalities as the original "Teddy" named for Theodore Roosevelt, to Winnie the Pooh, Paddington, etc.
Organized chronologically, each chapter begins with an analysis of the bear typical of that era. Every bear is pictured in full-color, face-on and in profile, and each photo is accompanied by a detailed description of the bear, highlighting his facial and body characteristics as well as unique aspects of stitching, stuffing, and sewing.
Included too are discussions of clothes, important accessories, and other contemporary beariana, such as china, jewelry, etc. A comprehensive practical section presents tips for collecting bears, hints for caring for and repairing old or wounded teddies.
A must for anyone who collects bears, the book is equally appealing to anyone who simply cannot resist the charm of a stuffed teddy." - from the dust jacket.
