4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive book, March 5, 2003

By	"mrtavarone" (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Encyclopedia of the Horse (Hardcover)

I have read other enciclpedya of horses, and although I would not say this one has any particular feature which makes it better than other enciclopedias, I would just remark this: this is a fairly good one. Lots of information, very good pictures. Perhaps the information provided on some of the breeds is too brief and in some cases -the Criollo, for example- information seemed a little vague and imprecise. Appart from these pitfalls, I would recommend its purchase.
