i bought this when it was on sale for 9.00 and honestly it wasnt really worth that it doesnt give very accurate concise information on the breeds inside but it does give you a very basic outline of each breed however not all of these breeds are common in the united states nor are some of them even really here yet so if you are buying this to figure out what breed of dog best suits your family do not buy this.

this book is aimed more at people that are curious about dog breeds that exist not at actually expanding knowledge on the breeds inside. i collect breed books and dog breed encyclopedias and i have bought books for less with far more breeds with greater detail and pointing out to a prospective owner what to look for this book does not.

this book does not tell you what you should ask a breeder about with each breed for instance with my breed you would ask about Eye, ear and hip tests and guarantees on those tests for 2+ years. this book only gives the tiniest peak into each breed, while that is enough for some others may well be disappointed by the fact that it is not an in depth book with more than general information that anyone could find on a Google search.

This is not your typical coffee table book. We had one for quite a while and use it as a reference book, enjoyable reading, and a coversation booster when left in plain sight.

I bought this book for my daughter-in-law because she was so interested in our copy.

A great gift for any dog lover.

If your a dog lover this is the book for you. We wore out our first copy and now we're on our second. Detailed information on all kinds of dogs as well as being beautifully illustrated. It's a book that is hard to put down...

This is a great all breed dog book. The pictures are good, there is a nice selection of breeds and the information is generally accurate, at least for the dogs I know.

This book is one of the best of its type, Mr. Yamazaki and Mr. Kojima should be congratulated for all the work that they have put into it. The photography is excellent and the whole book is beautifully presented. I may be a little biased as l own the brown Bearded Collie pictured in the book but l think that the book really blows away other similiar books about dogs on the market. A must have if you are looking at purchasing a puppy / dog.
