5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book, 17 Jan 2005

By	Ironorchid (UK) - See all my reviews

This is a brilliant book for the novice bearmaker... Takes you through all the stages of beamaking with easy instructions and good clear photographs. But beware however. This is just a reprint of their 1998 The Art and Craft of Teddy Bear Making. The only difference is a new cover and title. But if you haven't already got the earlier book, I can definitely reccomend this one.
