Summary: Looked very good
Comment: I haven't bought this book yet, but I had a thorough look at it at the book store today, and, having owned loads of dog books, I can say from experience that this one looks very good. It has a looooooooooot of breeds; over 420, and the pictures are very good. The text, though short, provides necessary information on the breeds and basic facts are given in little boxes. It seems easy to find out what kind of temperament a dog has, which is important if you're planning to buy that particular breed. Grooming and exercising needs are also provided and I know how important that is. This book has different chapters, which make it easier to find the dog you're looking for, given the good labeling. It is very big and fat, but don't get fooled by that, for it is very interesting to look at. All-round, I would say that any dog-lover would love this book.
I am planning to buy this book tomorrow and I will be writing another review on it once I've had a chance to go through it better and read all the content. Another book I really liked, on dogs, was The Dorling Kindersley Handbook of Dogs or something, which is small, but very comprehensive and compact. Unfortunately, I do not have it any more, but I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants a small, but complete, dog book. I am now checking if Amazon.com has it and, if you would like to look at it (provided Amazon has it), please look for it. In the mean time, I'm checking out this one, too, and I hope it's good. I hope all this helped!

Summary: Finally bought it, really good!
Comment: I have posted a review earlier, when I had not bought this book, but just looked at it, and, after having bought it and looked through it, it is far better than I expected.
With over 420 breeds and over 600 photographs, this book could make any dog-lover go mad! Excellent quality photos provide the reader with a very good idea of the size, weight and looks of each breed. Little, easy-to-read icons below the Facts provide the reader with information about the grooming, exercise and climatic needs of the dog, along with the temperament.
Short, but comprehensive, text provides the reader with an overview of the breed and the hunting and companion abilities.
Apart from all the various breeds, the whole structure and various characteristics of behaviour of dogs have also been explained. Dog food and dog products have also been printed and these would be of great help to new owners.
Buying a puppy is a big decision and, so, it has to be done carefully and this book is just right for it.
All in all, it's pretty amazing and I highly recommend it.
