Representaion In Favor Of Books Much Loved

Award-winning photographer Mark Nixon has created a trove of quirky and nostalgic portraits of teddy bears and other stuffed animals that have been lovingly abused after years of play. MuchLoved collects 60 of these images along with their accompanying background tales. An exhibit in the photographer’s studio led to a small sensation on the Internet when a few of the pictures circulated unofficially on scores of blogs and on many legitimate news sites. Viewers have been intrigued by the funny, bittersweet images and their ironic juxtaposition of childhood innocence and aged, loving wear and tear.  When you see these teddy bears and bunnies with missing noses and undone stuffing, you can’t help but think back to childhood and its earliest companions who asked for nothing and gave a lot back.

Praise for Much Loved:

“Much Loved is impossibly endearing in its entirety.” —Brain Pickings

Evaluate About Books Much Loved

i will never tire of books that show photos of much-loved stuffed animal companions. i have already read Chewed and Dirty Wow Wow and Other Love Stories: A Tribute to the Threadbare Companions of Childhood (and i still need to get my hands on Dirty Bow Wow). there is something so charming about these pictures, and reading the accompanying text about how long these faithful, damaged friends have been with their keepers is pretty heart-melting, even for me. i mean, don't get me wrong - some of



There is nothing bad to say about this book except I wish it was 900 pages long.

Wow, what an evocative, delightful book. Some of the photos were breathtakingly delightful, some brought tears to my eyes, and some... well, some I could almost SMELL. A wonderful project, full of all sorts of people's much loved childhood stuffed friends. I loved seeing how different families coped with the universal problem of leaking stuffing! Highly recommended, if you ever loved a teddy bear. Or, in my case, cat.

Much Loved is a book of photographs by Mark Nixon of toys - mostly teddy bears - loved to bits by their owners. It's very touching, as some of the bears are quite old - one is 102! Each photo is accompanied by a bit of text from the owner. The book made me think fondly of my own teddy bear, Lemon, who I received when I was four. I was allergic to the dye in his fur and had a terrible rash at first, but once the scent of the dye wore off Lemon and I were great friends.If you had a teddy or other

Hard book to read as some of these toys, who are best friends, are seriously loved so much that there isn't much left. What I wouldn't give to find Jocko the Clown, who was with me through many a thumb sucking night and was even professionally photographed (with me and my thumb). At least I have Bear and might offer to let Nixon photo him. For those of you from NIU's North Neptune, he was the guy who was hung in effigy from the clock in the hall and lived to tell the story...and he never held a

Cute. Makes me wonder where my old stuffed animals ended up...
