4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for an introduction to the breed..., November 7, 2001
This review is from: Shibas (Paperback)
This book has plenty of nice photos, and basic information on the breed.
Out of 192 pages, only the first 64 are Shiba-specific. The rest is miscellaneous dog info. It covers things like the breed standard, a brief history of the breed, etc.
I would not reccomend it to someone who already knows a decent amount about the breed and wants to further their Shiba knowledge. But it is good for someone new to the breed just looking to learn the basics, breed standard, similar breeds, etc.

Good dog book but not a real good Shiba book, November 17, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Shibas (Paperback)
I'm not too impressed so far by Tomita's book, Shibas. I'm 3/4 of the way through and don't recall reading the word Shiba since I read the title. All the info is presented as "dog" information, not Shiba specific. It's good info but I wouldn't reguard the book as a great reference guide on Shibas. This may be unfair, since I haven't finished but in the meantime I wanted to prevent people from possibly being decieved about the books content based on the title.
