Question Hi Tanya. I am interested in the best books or other resources that explain the differences in teddy bears. For example, some people might say that all of those folksy dressed bears by Russ, Boyds and Bearington look alike in some ways but I see a lot of differences and I'd like to become educated as to how to spot most all of them. Any help you can give me would be great.
Thanks so much.
Debra
Answer Hi Debra
Well you have me there :O) I have not to date found a book explaining the difference between these bears, but they all have a very distinct look, I am sure there are vast differences between them.
To me I must say that some of the bears are deffinately similar in most ways.
I do hope you find your book, the only advice I can offer here is try approaching one of the Teddy Bear Times people, or Teddy Bear Club International, they have vast knowledge on bears and might just be able to steer you in the right direction.
Thank you so much for you question
Lots of luck and hugs
Tanya
