This review is from: Love of Goldens: The Ultimate Tribute to Golden Retrievers (Petlife Library) (Paperback)

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG! A Golden book!, March 12, 2003

By	"fantasystar" (ISTANBUL Turkey) - See all my reviews

Well, as the title tells you, this book is a goldne book, and a golden's book. This was the first item that i bought from amazon.com and it is the reason why I contunie on buying things. Basicly, it is one of the best books I own.
For the first thing, it includes first quality golden retriever photos, very cute! You witness the miracles of goldens throughout this book.
HOWEVER!, this book DOES NOT include how to take care of your beatiful golden. You may need another book to guide you and help you with the topics of health, training and history of golden retrievers.
I can call this book a "reference" book, it is really valuable and a must-own for both poeple who own goldens and who don't. If you like photography and animals, and art-- this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Golden Book!, January 16, 2002

By	A. Massey (CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a treasure! Especially if you have Golden Retrievers. It is mostly photos but it does include inspirational, and interesting stories about the breed. The photos feature goldens of all ages, shades, and sizes. They are featured in snow, on swings, in beds and on the laps of their owners. Each dog feautred is beautiful. The author Dean Koontz even provides a photo of his own dog, and a chapter from one of his books, in which the main character is a Golden Retriever. I highly reccomend this book.
