Rating: Summary: The cover alone is worth the price! Review: Excellent in-depth study of cat breeds, with just the information I needed to choose the right breed for me.
Rating: Summary: A must for the pet lover Review: I am a dog lover, and purchased this book for my sister in law. When it arrived, I practically read it from cover to cover. I had no idea there were so many breeds of cats, almost all my experience with them has been with the good old "domestic short hair" variety. So, even a dog lover at heart LOVED this book, now I want my own copy!
Rating: Summary: The cover alone is worth the price! Review: I am a vet tech student and was currently taking Breed ID when I purchased this book. Wonderfully describes the personality and the car of each breed. A must for any library for research or the thirst for knowledge of cat breeds...
Rating: Summary: "The" cat book! Review: I bought this book for my wife, but finished reading it before she did. This is an excellent guide to cat breeds as well as cat genetics. Don't be intimidated, everything in the book in very understandable.Makes a great gift for cat lovers.
Rating: Summary: Mediocre photos Review: I had previously bought Barron's Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds, and was looking forward to the same sort of large, high quality photos in the cat encyclopedia. Boy, was I disappointed! The photos are small (average size is 2 1/2 X 3 1/2). Some are murky or dark. Some are against poorly chosen backgrounds (e.g. a dark cat against a dark background). Some are mislabeled. (The largest photo of a Siamese is clearly NOT a Siamese.) And speaking of Siamese, they get so wrapped up in trying to show the difference between Traditional and Extreme that they never bother to show photos of all or even most of the colorpoints. (i.e. Sealpoint, Lilac Point, etc.) All in all, the photos are better in one of those $2.49 pamphlets that you buy at your local pet store!
