About our bears
Book Cover Bears are a totally unique family of handmade bears born from the friendship and creative fusion of two Scottish based artist friends, Andrea Scott and Liz Gaffney.
The story behind their creation is far from ordinary and their appeal far ranging.
They are not only sought after by arctophiles but by felt-makers, railway enthusiasts, and supporters of the Addison Publication *'The Highgrove Florilegium'.

Each delightful bear is one of a kind, full of character and personality, with a name and biography.
They live in a 160 year old railway cottage located in the Scottish highlands where they patiently wait to be discovered and loved by a family of their own.
When the time comes for a bear to leave for a new home their details are meticulously recorded in a vintage ledger by The Professor, the wise old bear who oversees all things bear in the cottage, ensuring their ancestry can always be traced.
All bears are carefully placed into their very own individually handmade bear bag, close in design to the original 'Royal Book covers', together with their favourite possession or outfit and some rather special paperwork before travelling.
We hope our bears make you smile and that maybe one will steal your heart.
