A beautiful 152 page softbound book with 100's of large, sharp, full color photos of every type of poodle collectible from the 1950's and 60's. Values are shown (1996). There is a brief introduction into this collectible. Topics range from Kitchen Canines, Poodle Lamps, Spectacled Pets, Parasol Pooches and Costumed Canines, to Doggie Duds, Sew Man Poodles, Dogs in Toyland, and Peteena Ads. Items include toilet paper dispensers, shower curtains, pins and broaches, cigarette holders, compacts, greeting cards, and hundreds of other items. A poodle lovers must have !

I expected much more. I was very excited that I had located this discontinued book. But my joy faded when I realized that the contents were mainly the limited collection of the author. She has many nice objects but certainly not enough to entitle the book as collectibles of the 50's and 60's. It should have been called "My Poodle Collection."

It took me months to finally locate this wonderful treasure trove of poodle collectibles. Not only does it display various poodle collectibles, but it's a mini sociological look at the American culture of that era. Elaine Butler did a superb job in compiling this book.
