Giant Schnauzers by Barbara Andrews,
This review is from: Giant Schnauzer (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
This book is base on the America Stantards for Giant Schnauzers and because I am in Australia a lot of the stantards are different but there is still some good information in this book.
