Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive, illustrated colour price guide to the secondary market features more than 450 teddy bears dating from the earliest 1904 creations to contemporary bears by manufacturers, studios and individual artists. Well-known authorities Terry and Doris Michaud have created a unique, easy-to-use rating scale based on condition; the result is the first price guide ever to present three condition-related values for each bear listed. Identification tips are offered throughout. An extensive resource section includes guidance on maintaining and repairing teddy bears, as well as an international list of restorers, dealers, appraisers and auctioneers.
