Teddy Bears & Stuffed Animals: Herman Teddy Original, 1913-1998 (A Schiffer Book for Collectors)

The majority of the pics are horribly lit, but couldn't find any other books on the Hermann Teddies. I also could not find the lion I was trying to identify, but there are lots of pics of many different animals. No clear way to determine value. Still, I'm glad to have a source for reference. They need to put out another better detailed book with updates and better pics!

I purchased this book hoping to identify a Hermann original that I own. A great many of the teddy bear images look like they were taken with a red light bulb; consequently, they all look the same color. I found no way to identify my particular bear, because captioned under each image is just a number. No reference to a bear name, or other identifying information. My bear has the original tags, but no reference to a number on the tags, so this book is of very little use to me.As my title states, this book was a huge disappointment and I would never have paid over $20 for it.

I am really sorry to say, but this book was a disappointment to me. Lots of pictures, but all small, odd-coloured (orange, reddish), straight from some old selling cataloques. The teddies were a minority compared to the other stuffed animals. Furthermore, there were not many pictures of the old Hermann teddies, the vast majority of the teddies were quite new or newer. I found the information part -values etc - rather strange and difficult to use.

alles perfeckt nur schade das ich diese reise nicht selber machen konnte ich bin mit dem buch und dem sevice sehr zufrieden. mfg u.tabel
