Rupert Facsimile Annuals

All collectors Authentic Facsimile Editions and Limited Editions of The Rupert Annual prior to the 1955 copy, published in September 2004, are now 'Out Of Print', and some are becoming harder to find as each month passes. We do have at least one copy of the editions that are listed below, and we do come across repeat copies to replace those that have been sold. With some years editions it has now become a labour of love! Please email info@classicrupertbearshop.com if you are searching for a particular year that is shown as sold and if you would like to reserve a copy if traced.

Please note that the annuals for 1946, 1947,1954, 1956, 1960, 1961 & 1962 have not been reproduced in facsimile form due to the nature of the contents, being Rupert, Coon Island and other similar references. The next facsimile to be published will be that for 1963. This will be available in August 2008.

For our Overseas customers, please note that there are postage charges for each item listed. Rupert annuals are weighty beasts and sending by Airmail is not cheap. There will be a charge of £3.98 for Europe and £6.92 for The Rest Of The World for each annual. The postage is calculated by weight packed. These charges are standard unless Special Delivery Service is mentioned.

For all UK deliveries there is a nominal postage contribution of £1.00 per annual unless a Special Delivery Service is specified. (Please see Terms & Conditions or Shipping and Delivery sections for details). However, for this years 1959 Facsimile issue, delivery to UK addresses will be free.
