Peace Mania is the website I started to be a complete resource for Peace bear collectors. I started it early in my high school career, and for two or three years worked hard to keep it updated. In addition to Beanie news, Peace Mania also contained lots of articles about every imaginable aspect of Peace the Beanie Baby.

Even though I still keep up with Beanies, my interests have changed and I feel that Beanies just don’t hold that special “magic” that made them what they were. However, I couldn’t just close my site: I put too much of work into Peace Mania to just shut it down.

That’s why I am also happy to introduce “The Encyclopeaceia,” the complete informative contents of Peace Mania in a convenient book! It is available for purchase in my online store at http://www.cafepress.com/catboxgifts.384509172. I decided to offer this book because I know that there are still people out there who have a passion for Beanies, and for Peace, and I didn’t want to completely take away a possible resource. (In the near future, I will also be adding a data CD which will contain all of the images from Peace Mania.)

In closing, thank you to all those who helped to make Peace Mania what it was. Happy collecting! David Vogel

Note: Peacebears.com will close June 1, 2009.
