This review is from: Norfolk Terrier: A Complete and Reliable Handbook (Hardcover)

This book is a complete waste of money. It looks nice and glittering, but in reality it is devoid of information. I had hoped for some specific information on Norfolk terriers, as Im the happy owner of a Norfolk puppy. It is difficult to convey the extend of my disappointment with this book. Its gives me an impression like: get a lot of pictures, make an "change all" in a standardtekst from xx to Norfolk and you have a book on Norfolks. It doesnt even have a race-standard, let alone an explanation of the race-standard. Or specified instruktions on stripping or trimming or..... Besides I find it extremely irritating, that there is a lot of advertizing, disguized as information. Avoid this book if you are serious about your Norfolk. What you can try to do is get hold of the old book on Norfolk by Joan R. Read. It looks a bit oldfacioned, but it is full of information. and it is much, much better.

There isn't a huge selection of books about Norfolk Terriers, but this book does a great job covering much of what you need to know. The history of the Norfolk terrier was very interesting. This also gives good information on proper grooming.

Any books in this line are time and money wasters. They are geared for the rank beginner and offer no help to the serious fancier. The only redeeming qualities are the photos, but they do not justify the price of the books.
