4.0 out of 5 stars
A welcome little paperback on the Brit.with great photos.,
By hareich@aol.com (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The British Shorthair Cat (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This 64-page paperback is the first publication I've ever found on the British Shorthair, and is a perfect introduction to this beautiful breed of cat. Given the book's brevity, it responsibly addresses an ambitious range of topics specific to the Brit. from a professional breeder's perspective. The book also features many stunning color photos of British Shorthair kittens and cats---these photos alone are worth the small price of the book! I recommend this book to breeders as well as to all fans of British Shorthairs, the teddy bears of the cat world.

A Beautiful Book on a Beautiful Breed,
This review is from: The British Shorthair Cat (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book, absolutely FULL of useful, interesting & informative information - it even includes instructions on how to build your cat's own scratching post! Lessmeier's book is a wonderful treat for lovers of the British Shorthair & it eased my wait until 'Shmoo', our British shorthair arrived.

Great, but there is still room for a better book.,
By LG (Redwood City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The British Shorthair Cat (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is a nice introduction to the British Shorthair "at a glance". High points include a number of nice color pictures, a good description of the breed, and great instructions on care and feeding.For those looking for more in-depth knowledge like breed genetics, what colors are commonly available (and why) and where you can get them, show histories, etc... the book fill fall a bit "short". Still highly recommended for anyone interested in Brits though because let's face it, one can never have enough British Shorthair info.
