Delightful book!

This is a great book for the seasoned artist as well as the beginning collector. The photography is great and the text is very readable. It's a pleasure to carry with and read while traveling, as well as to study the photographs for ideas. I enjoyed reading about the artists, especially the ones I already knew; and learning about the ones I was'nt familar with. The photography was a pleasure, as well as the the text. I would recommend this book to anyone intested in teddy bears and artists!

The World's Most Lovable Bears

Stephen Cronk, former editor of Teddy Bear Review, has compiled a collection of more than 100 wonderful photographs of beautiful furry teddy bears created by many of today's leading teddy bear artists. The format reveals techniques and inspirations behind the photographed bear as well as some history on the featured contemporary artists. The teddy bear lover cannot resist the lovable images created to reveal the spirit of this collectible art form. I loved the organization and format of this publication. I also enjoyed the 6-page historical perspective Steve offered spanning the history of the teddy bear from 1902 through the development of domestic and foreign shows, collector clubs, and charital organizations formed to distribute teddy bears to those in need of comfort.You will be able to easily locate some of the best known teddy bear artists today. Their addresses are also featured in this book.This book is a must for collectors and fellow teddy bear artists. You will love this book as much as I did.
