Teddy Bear Times magazine

[shebob bears]

Any suggestions where I can buy Teddy Bear Times magazine from. :6022: I see W.H.Smith no longer stocks it, resulting in all my local newsagents unable to acquire it either. I particularly want the latest issue which I believe is '185'.
I would be most grateful for any ideas of how to obtain regular copies of this illusive magazine.

Thanks,
Sheila

I know this isn't going to be the same as the real thing but you can have a year i-mag subscription to Teddy bear times for 10 pounds and you get acces to all the back issues
or you can order the issue 185 via https://www.ashdown.co.uk/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=1557

Hope this helps

Hi Shelia

As Annette says I subscribe through Ashdowns. 6 issues a year, delivered straight to your door and only one payment a year to worry about. :D

Hi Sheila, My Dad got me a copy from W H Smith a couple of weeks ago. I know Ashdown are out of stock because I tried to get it from them. Maybe a phone. call to another branch of Smiths?
Hope you are lucky.

Hi there Shiela I have managed to order it through my local news agent. I would find ordering 6 issues straight off quite expensive myself, but if I start to have trouble, I too will have to do that!

Hi Sheila ,
the big WHSmith I have in the town seems to be very good magazine-wise. Last week they still had quite a few copies of Feb/March (185) issue. Would you like me to get one for you if I can? The next issue will be out middle of next month - so you have a bit of time to pin down a supplier! (perhaps literally - would do the trick? ;):6086:) HeeHee

Hi Ruth,
That would be brilliant if you could track down a copy of issue 185 for me. Perhaps if you could post it to me and I will reimburse you plus postage of course by return.
In the meantime I will place a regular order with possibly Ashdown starting with the April/May edition. A few years ago every newsagent sold all the beary magazines. It's not as if bears are out of fashion, are they! :eek:

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Much appreciated.
Sheila.

Nooooooooooooooo Bears can't go out of fashion :6031:I love them way to much and what would become of the world if there weren't any bears.......... thats the stuff of nightmares and then I'd need my teddy........................

I do find it a pity that teddybear times used to be a monthly magazine and now is bi-monthly and I believe they used to have teddy.tv station on internet (correct me if i'm wrong) and thats now gone, which I find a real shame because it could help us newer bear makers with explaining different techniques etc. Oh well maybe in the future it will come back.

It is such a shame we can't get more access to magazines - I was in Germany at the weekend and they had no less than three magazines on the magazine shelves with about 9 bear patterns in each - I'm not very good at German mind but bought them all the same just for some of the lovely patterns.
