 Beautiful! May 6, 2008
I love everything about this book. The photographs are amazing, and the quotes are sweet and funny. Wonderfully done!
 Pleasing Collection of the delight of owning a dog March 1, 2008
As a collector of dog photos and amateur photographer, I enjoyed this book.
The range of breeds included is marvelous as is the volume of photographs included.
The quality of the book (binding, paper) forced me to limit the book to four stars. However, given the price of the book one can still enjoy the content rather than pay through the nose for a huge, glossy, impeccably printed coffee table type book.
If you love or a friend love not just your dog, but all dogs and what dogs mean to our society, this is a worthwhile book.
Wonderful pictures! February 16, 2008
I collect dog photos myself so I love books of old dog photos. This book is fantastic. The pictures are great. Wonderful to look through and read the titles. If you're interested in old dog photos or looking at dog photos in general, you'll love this book!
Anybody who loves old photography, especially of dogs, will love this book. January 29, 2008

My new book came today from Amazon.com and I love it! Anybody who loves old photography, especially of dogs, will love this book. Caroline Johnson collects amateur snapshots of dogs, this book is a collection of photos from the turn of the century up to the 50's. It also has a smattering of quotes and writings from William Wegman, the worlds best known dog photographer. Phaidon published the book; as an art student I quickly realized what great books they choose to publish, this is no exception. Some might review the faux cloth binding treatment as lesser quality but it is a great price for a 500+ page picture book.
It is especially fun for me to see all the old bulldogs! I think every other page has one. Oh! And all the old boston bulls pictures... They must have been quiet popular during the early days. There is even one picture that has writing on it. It says, "Can you find Pat? He's a Dandy little Toy Boston Bull and a female! Patsy is her right name." Lake Erie Summer 1928. That old pat joke from Saturday Night Live must be much older or it's an inside joke. The image is of a man cradling a Bt marked bulldog.
This will be a treasured addition to my growing collection of books on dogs.
Enjoy! Naomi & Mugsy (Olde Boston Bulldogge)

 dissapointing January 22, 2008

I don't agree with these reveiws. I found the book to be cheaply produced, of very low quality and except for a few pohotographs, of really no artistic value. It made me feel as if someone had just gathered a bunch of photos as quickly as they could and stuck them in a book. I was very disappointed and didn't even bother adding it to my library.
