papillions(complete pet owners manual).......2006-11-05

having never even heard of the breed this book helped me out alot when I decided to buy a Papillion puppy. I would recommend this to anyone thinking about buying a Papillion.

Papillons - Complete Owners Manual.......2006-07-16

Good value containing a range of relevant general information for maintaining your papillon in good condition throughout it's lifetime. Health comments regarding teeth, patella, false pregnancy relate pretty well to what I've seen. Back pain/spasm is also a problem.

Excellent Introduction to a Wonderful Breed.......2004-07-22

Most people have only seen Papillons on television dog shows and never in person, a true shame as these little dogs are among the cutest and most wonderful of breeds. Although this book doesn't come with one of the furry-eared little pups, it is a great introduction to the breed.

The book covers the Papillon breed itself, giving a short history and breed standards, then goes on to discuss what to expect in a pet, delves into care and touches on grooming and showing, peppered throughout with color photos. Yes, the dearth of printed Papillon literature in the US does mean that this book is the choice by default for many wishing to learn more about Papillons, and some of its information is both dated or at times erroneous, but overall, it's a good introduction to those hoping to learn more about one of the cutest and most endearing breeds of toy dogs out there.

it was okay..........2003-11-26

I found more information on papillions, specifically-online! I found most of the information to be general as opposed to specific about the papillion breed. I recently brought home my papillion puppy, three weeks ago and I am not impressed. It is definately not a "complete pet owners manual".

Simply Superb.......1998-09-28

I found this book as an early collector of Chinese Snuff Bottles, and I certainly do not think there could be a better source book for either early or indeed continuing collectors. It gave me the insight, history and breadth of knowledge that I was looking for. This book should be a must in every Snuff Bottle collectors armament.

An Excellent Guide & Reference Book On Chinese Snuff Bottles.......2007-09-30

Lilla Perry was well acquainted with all the major snuff bottle collectors of her time. In her book she was able to relay her vast experiences in a very easy to read manner. Through her illustrations and numerous color photographs a collector can easily follow a path to making the right decisions in recognizing good Chinese snuff bottles. The book is written not only for the beginner but is also very helpful to the avid collector. It was the very first book I read on the subject and it helped me to become an avid collector and purveyor of Chinese snuff bottles. It proved to be so popular that it has enjoyed many printings since the 1960 original. Obviously I highly recommend the book to anyone with an interest in or even avid collectors of snuff bottles. Have a nice day and happy reading

Book Description

Among the most beautiful of the world's art forms are Chinese snuff bottles, miniature bottle-shaped flasks, often of astounding intricacy and tactile appeal, which were made for court and subsequently popular use during the Qing Dynasty. Within the last 20 years or so, snuff bottles have been collected by an increasingly wide circle of enthusiasts. While recent research has led to a number of discussions of the topic, the collecting of snuff bottles remains an area within which the unwary may be trapped, particulary as the spectacular rise in value of these small items has proved a spur to the skilled faker. Illustrated with 24 full-colour and 16 black-and-white plates, this book serves as a useful and entertaining introduction to the collecting of snuff bottles. After tracing the history of snuff in Chinese culture, the author surveys the many styles of snuff bottles, dividing them by materials and methods of decoration used.
