A must have for all dog lovers

If your a dog lover this is the book for you. We wore out our first copy and now we're on our second. Detailed information on all kinds of dogs as well as being beautifully illustrated. It's a book that is hard to put down...

Excellent revision

This is a great all breed dog book. The pictures are good, there is a nice selection of breeds and the information is generally accurate, at least for the dogs I know.

Brilliant Book - Well Worth Having

This book is one of the best of its type, Mr. Yamazaki and Mr. Kojima should be congratulated for all the work that they have put into it. The photography is excellent and the whole book is beautifully presented. I may be a little biased as l own the brown Bearded Collie pictured in the book but l think that the book really blows away other similiar books about dogs on the market. A must have if you are looking at purchasing a puppy / dog.
