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.

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.

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.

You'll find the book colorful and concise, with much helpful information for you to understand and take care your lovely fur ball - British Shorthair. I just love it! :)

As a British Shorthair breeder I think I wanted more. It has a lot of good general cat info but not much British Shorthair specifics.
The pictures were cute and the general info good but it left me wanting more.
