Description: Celebrating the 125th anniversary of Steiff, more than 250 illustrations accompany material from the Steiff archives.
Synopsis: Born at the beginning of the last century, he has stolen the hearts of people all over the world. The Teddy bear has lived through the many upheavals of the last 100 years and has not only maintained his appeal, he has become even more lovable with the passage of time. The Steiff Teddy is 100 years old; Who created him? What did he look like? Where did his name come from? All of these questions are answered and many more secrets are told concerning the jointed Teddy bear's creation 100 years ago in the small town of Giegen in the south of Germany. This official centenary book gives a comprehensive description of the story behind Richard Steiff's creation and the Teddy bear's road to success. Specialist author Gunther Pfeiffer gives a full account of recent discoveries related to the invention and early history of the Teddy bear and presents models that verify these findings. A special insight is given into the various stages of the manufacturing process which is still practised today, as well as the secret of Teddy's overwhelming success.Other chapters relate the 'bearish' experiences of individual people, describe the current collectors' market and look at the significance of the Teddy as a collectable antique. The book is rounded off by a comprehensive resume of the many models produced by Steiff to date. Special attention has been given to the photographs and illustrations selected to accompany the various chapters. An intensive search through the Steiff archives brought many previously undiscovered historical photographs to light which are published here for the first time.

Now, in Final Demands, the culminating volume in the trilogy, writer Adam Morris and his high-flying Cambridge contemporaries find themselves at the peak of influence and success as New Labour and the Blair boom years take them high on the slippery pole of success.

Unreliable Sources
By: JOHN SIMPSON
Examines how Great Britain's free press changed the world and changed itself over the course of the last hundred years, from the creation of the "Daily Mail" and the first stokings of anti-German sentiment in the years leading up to the First World War, to the "Sun"'s propping up of the Thatcher government, and beyond.
