1: The perfect Christmas gift for a dog-lover...
I got this for my Aunt (who's a veterinarian) for Christmas and she LOVED it. It's a huge book, crammed full of random facts and trivia and it's affordable. It's a solid buy for any dog-lover...

2: Have fun but beware!
Wow! Over 350 pages of dog-lists, covering almost anything related to dogs. Tons of information for a few bucks.
However, this is not a book written by experts, but a scissors and paste production. It's a mixed bag of facts, received opinions and sometimes plain myths (i.e. the history of breeds). Consequently I find it difficult to believe anything at all. Can we trust, for example, the recommendation of the boxer as a dog especially suited to live in an apartment?
So keep in mind that this book is not a piece of dog-science, but supposed to be fun. If you like trivia as well as dogs you may add this title to your shelf of dog books. I would not recommend it as an introduction to the canine world.

3: Great book!
What a wonderful resource! Lots of good info, plus so funny in some parts that I annoyed my husband by contintually reading parts out loud. Bought it for friends as a "puppy shower" book (those of us whose kids are four-legged deserve showers, too!). I highly recommend it!

4: Fun book!!!
This is an awesome book. Lots of cool info. Will keep any dog lover entertained for hours.

5: Very nice
I purchased and gave this book for an intelligent dog lover, who has since then enjoyed this book very much. Notably, the book features a variety of interesting information that delightfully ranges in tone (ex: the book is both serious and humorous). Additionally, the inside of the book is reasonably attractive - a lot of information (hundreds of pages), but it is organized and put on full color pages with pictures - so no mundane black and white format.
