Love of Spaniels: The Ultimate Tribute to Cockers, Springers & Other Great Spaniels (School of Industrial Relations Research Essay Series,) [Hardcover]

Todd R. Berger (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Delightful to look at, with its beautiful photographs of the title breed, this book also makes great reading, particularly when curled up on the sofa with your dog at your side. This anthology includes short stories by James Herriot, Virginia Woolf, Barbara Bush, Richard Burton, and others, all of which focus on this popular dog that for decades now has not lost its appeal as a loving pet. Berger, editor of several other "Love of" books, has compiled a sweet tribute to the spaniel, a book that all dog lovers, especially spaniel aficionados, will appreciate. All public librarians with an active collection of dog books should consider its purchase. Kathleen Hughes

This review is from: Love of Spaniels: The Ultimate Tribute to Cockers, Springers & Other Great Spaniels (School of Industrial Relations Research Essay Series,) (Hardcover)

This is a lovely book in many ways. The photographs are wonderful, a joy, really. But I was expecting more INFORMATION about the spaniel breeds. Instead it's a group of stories about spaniels.

They're nice stories, for the most part, but they don't really give you much insight into the breeds.

If you just want to be regaled with spaniel tales (forgive the pun but I just couldn't help myself), then I suppose this is the book for you. But if you're looking for more informative reading Amazon has so many much better choices.
