Written by renowned teddy bear authority Peter Bull in collaboration with Pauline McMillan, this limited-edition volume serves as both a catalog of artisanal craftsmanship and a charming exploration of astrological archetypes. Through the lens of the twelve zodiac signs, the authors bring a unique personality to each bear, highlighting the intricate details—from fabrics and expression to hand-stitched accessories—that define the House of Nisbet's signature style.\n\nThe book is a highly sought-after piece for collectors, particularly given its status as a numbered limited edition. Beyond the immediate appeal of the bears themselves, the work offers a nostalgic glimpse into the specialized craft of high-end toy making in the late 20th century. It stands as a testament to the enduring popularity of the teddy bear as a medium for artistic expression, making it a delightful and significant acquisition for any dedicated collector of vintage toys or specialized design history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826036814043,"sku":"2026200007894-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4b5bc86b-e9c0-4fe6-baad-6b74fbd54cfa.png?v=1780311384","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007894-secondhand-the-zodiac-bears","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
