5.0 out of 5 stars Please rerelease this book., June 7, 2000

This review is from: Grandeur and Good Nature, the Character of the Mastiff: An International Collection of Photos and Commentaries Portraying "the Lion of Dogdom" (Hardcover)

Having read other mastiff owner's coppies I want one for myself. I do not have 400.00 to buy one from an auction. It is a top quality reference book on the breed and to have only so few coppies in curculation is a shame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandeur and Good Nature describes this book & the Mastiff!, April 16, 1999

This review is from: Grandeur and Good Nature, the Character of the Mastiff: An International Collection of Photos and Commentaries Portraying "the Lion of Dogdom" (Hardcover)

In Mastiff circles, this book is the Bible of the breed. Those of us who have to beg and borrow a copy from friends find it hard to believe the book has not come back in print. This is an important book that preserves so much of the Mastiff type, temperment, and truly amazing attributes. If any reader of these reviews has any clout with the publishing company PLEASE convince them to do another printing as soon as possible. There are A LOT of Mastiff people who would love to own this Mastiff masterpiece.

This is THE book about the best dogs in the world.
Of all the books on Mastiffs, this one best reveals the nature and specialness of these dogs. The heartfelt stories, the pictures, the tons of advice from experienced breeders and trainers.
Speaking frankly, it's a nightmare to try to find anything in it (it's hard to even find the table of contents!), but actually, that's a good thing because you end up wandering through it enjoying the wonderfulness of these dogs.
I thank my stars I was lucky enough to find a copy at a book store.
