Greyhounds Big and Small: Iggies and Greyts [Hardcover]

Amanda Jones (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 5, 2004

More than 50 photos that capture the beauty and spirit of Greyhounds and Italian Greyhounds.

Hounds in gorgeous black-and-white photography.
The perfect gift for greyhound lovers.

Be they Iggies (Italian Greyhounds) or Greyts (Greyhounds), these elegant dogs have been the subjects of artists' gazes for more than two thousand years. Sleek and slim, they've got the looks and bearing of supermodels-yet all it takes is a lopsided grin, a poke of the nose, or a whimsical head tilt to see that they are playful clowns at heart.

Greyhounds of all sizes bring gentleness and grace into the homes of those who love them. Greyhounds Big and Small celebrates these affectionate and beautiful creatures with over fifty photographs that skillfully capture the essence of 'greyhoundedness.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book!!, December 8, 2004

This review is from: Greyhounds Big and Small: Iggies and Greyts (Hardcover)

I just picked this book up at my local Barnes & Noble. The photography is wonderful and if you are an Iggy parent (owner of an Italian Greyhound) you will definately appreciate the captions that go along with some of the photos. Their quirkiness comes thru brilliantly. If you are unfamiliar with the Italian Greyhound personality they are very silly little guys and gals!!

I appreciate the contrast between the Iggies and the Greyts. All around this is a greyt book that any dog lover will enjoy.

This review is from: Greyhounds Big and Small: Iggies and Greyts (Hardcover)

This book is full of great pictures! Actually, I ordered it for my husband well before Christmas and to my surprise he also bought it for me as a birthday present. We love our IG and love looking at pictures of them. They are such beautiful dogs.

This review is from: Greyhounds Big and Small: Iggies and Greyts (Paperback)

All of the reviews (before mine) for this paperback book were from the Hardcover version when I bought it. When I originally purchased this paperback version, the reviews didn't have the notation that they were from the Hardback version.

The Hardcover version must have been 1000x better in quality than the paperback version because the photo prints are horrible. There is no detail. The art of the photographs is good, but the print quality looks like it was printed using a 1990 HP Laserjet printer (if you ever tried to print a photo from one of those, you know what I mean).

Although it was quite cheap, it wasn't worth $1. Don't bother buying it (paperback).
