5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece for every groomers library., March 29, 2006

By	Elizabeth Bean "ebean" (Atlanta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews

Over 40 years of my life has been spent in the grooming industry. As a kid I grew up working after school in my parents pet salon and today I operate PetGroomer.com to help others succeed in grooming. Let me assure you that Notes From the Grooming Table is truly a must for every groomers library. What a reference work! So much added grooming information besides breed styling by AKC breeds makes this a classic reference work. Invest in your career and obtain this book on the how-to side of grooming pets. Worth every penny for the professional groomer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Prettier package, same standard advice., May 25, 2008

By	Jack Brander "Temper Kennels" (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This was a book I was SO eager to get. It is absoultely ok, but it sure wasn't the masterpiece that I had hoped for. It is pretty with excellent layout and clever spiral binding, but it is just the same advice as you get anywhere.
Still, this is probably one of the first books I'd recommend on the subject to a beginner. But if you are more advanced in the field there will be little new to gain.
