4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, June 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pup (Hardcover)

PUP, the follow up to Deborah Samuel's DOG, is positivley adorable, but not quite as good as it's predessesor. The book is smaller, both in dimensions and in number of photos. Also, unlike DOG, there are none of Ms. Samuel's charming studio notes. Some the photographs aren't as appealing as others, but who can resist so many puppies? This makes a good coffeetable book, but if you haven't picked up DOG, I recommend getting that one instead. Bottom line: It's charming and sweet, but not as good as DOG.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Photography Gem, August 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pup (Hardcover)

I bought this book for a friend who is a real dog lover. She and her husband loved it so much that I went out and purchased several other copies . It is incredible value and much appreciated as a gift instead of the usual bottle of wine when visiting friends for dinner.

This is the first time I have been inspired to post a review. Deborah's photographs are some the most beautiful blank and white photos I have ever seen. My first thought when I started looking at her book was that I would love to have her take portraits of my dogs. Her work is inspiring and will break your heart. And, as a dog lover, I loved her subjects and the delightful way she choose to portray them. This -- and her book "Dog" -- is an absolute must for any artist, photographer or dog lover.
