2.0 out of 5 stars
Good GENERAL cat book, a little disappointed,though.,
By oguyette@nwtc.tec.wi.us (Green Bay, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Persian Cats: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Disease, and Behavior (Special Chapter : Understanding Persian Cats) (Paperback)
I bought the book looking for specific information about Persians. What I got was a little information about Persians and a lot of information about cats in general. I guess if I were interested in breeding or showing, this might be the book to buy, but for a simple cat fancier, it doesn't do it for me.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Persian Cats (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
You probably already know more about Persians than the book writer himself.
Disappointing. Better to spend more and really Learn about Persian cats.

Not very Persian focused,
This review is from: Persian Cats: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Disease, and Behavior (Special Chapter : Understanding Persian Cats) (Paperback)
All the information in there I can find it in a cats magazine. VERY basic information and quite obvious.
