1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, July 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A New Owner's Guide to Maltese (Hardcover)

Vicki Abbot has great credentials. She is obviously a very accomplished woman. Due to HER "pedigree" I was eager to learn from her. I just received my first MALTESE (although I have had other dogs). I was sorely disappointed, as I found her information to be very limited and very basic. The focus was more about her accomplishements, dog shows, trophies etc. Most unexpected for a woman of her caliber & a total waste of money if one is looking for a guidance book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have read the reviews!, December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A New Owner's Guide to Maltese (Hardcover)

I wish I had read the reviews on here before purchasing this book. I was greatly disappointed with it. It gives an excellent view of the author, her show dogs and her daughter but I felt it lacked information about the Maltese which is what I had hoped for in a book entitled, A New Owners Guide to Maltese. It gave very generic information in my opionion and was not that helpful. If you are looking for specific information on how to care for your new Maltese keep searching.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Took This Back!, June 27, 2004

This review is from: A New Owner's Guide to Maltese (Hardcover)

This book was an "impulse buy" from Borders Books and Music. When I got it home and read it, I was so disappointed that I returned it-something I rarely do. For lighter reading, The Essential Maltese by Howell Book House is much more informative; for the more serious fancier, The Complete Maltese by Nicholas Cutillo is a must-have. Don't waste your time and money on this book!
