About the Book

This is a new edition of the essential and comprehensive guide for collectors and lovers of any kind of teddy bear. "Miller's Teddy Bears: A Complete Collector's Guide" presents a diverse and fascinating selection of bears, as well as gollies, bears' friends, bear memorabilia, and the newest bears from today's leading bear manufacturers. A maker-by-maker guide covers all the principal manufacturers around the world, detailing key developments and highlighting identifying features. World expert Sue Pearson gives practical advice on what to look out for - such as distinguishing between mohair or synthetic fibres and excelsior or kapok stuffing. The book introduces some very individual bears with their provenance, and looks at the various categories that appeal to the collecting market, such as coloured bears, musical bears, and bear novelties. Also included is a glossary and a comprehensive guide to fairs, clubs, and dealers around the world, plus how to look after and display your teddy bears. The range of antique to modern bears in "Miller's Teddy Bears: A Complete Collector's Guide" ensures there is something for every type of bear collector.
