Now I understand why the author put so much information and pictures of English Setters; he owns some. The author's love for English Setters is evident page after page after page, even in the sections 'dedicated' to Gordon Setters and Irish Setters. I cannot understand why the author would bother writing a book that included the Irish and Gordon if he seemed to have trouble fiinding good things to write about them. I was shocked to read his harsh and sometimes cruel opinion on the lovely Irish Setter.

All of the pictures are of the highest quality and are, of course, adorable. However even in the pictures, the author's love of English Setters comes through again, with almost double the amount of pictures there are of the Irish Setter.

Would I recommend this book? To an English Setter fancier - yes. To a Gordon Setter fancier - sure, if you have some extra money to toss around. To a Irish Setter fancier - Look at the pretty pictures while you browse through a bookstore then immediately put it back in the shelf.

For anyone who owns or loves setters, this is a wonderful book. Beautiful pictures and a lot of interesting information.

The pictures are beautiful and if you are a person like me who loves setters this book is for you!

When I received my copy of this book, I was more than pleasantly surprised by the coverage and photo's! I was elated! It's an absolutely beautiful pictoral and the author truly captured the soul of the Setters! The history and antics of our dogs presented were excellent! Kudo's to the author!

O.K. its a dog book. But for all those folks who share their life with a setter this publication will give you an hour or two of smiles - more if you keep it on your coffee table. I have enjoyed my copy and feel the writing caputures both the regal hunting dogs and the personality of those who love them.
