I'm sorry! I was stalling about getting you the book names because I knew that you were getting a bear.....
Then I forgot.
My favourite is called "Learn Bearmaking" and it is by Judi Maddigan.
I learned a lot from that book, but I would guess that you already know most of that stuff.
The other one I have is "How to Make and Sell Quality Teddy bears" here is a link to what it looks like.
http://www.amazon.ca/Make-Sell-Quali...2993636&sr=1-2
It is the Canadian version of Amazon, but you can see the cover. I made the smaller bear on the cover and was never happy with it. I don't think I've opened the book since.
I have no idea if that is helpful to you in the slightest.....
