Customer Reviews:
Good book, not exstensive though.......2007-09-27
Good, book but short/small. If you really want to learn about Shiba's I would get something a little more extensive. But, it did the job.
Good for specifics on Shiba Care.......2007-07-22
This book was great for learning about specific care needs of the Shiba, personality traits of the Shiba, and breeding and showing your Shiba.
good start!.......2007-07-12
Concise but packed with breed-specific information. Very very helpful as I start educating myself more on this wonderful breed!
Shiba Inu.......2007-03-08
A basic book. Gives you a bottom line what the Dog is. A good help if you decide to get one and have no idea what they are like. This dog has alot of pluses. They are a great breed but not for everyone. What dog is?
A nice general overview, but that's all........2006-12-07
The Complete Pet Owner's Manual series, published by Barron, is a nice general reference for dog owners of any breed, and this book is no exception. It couples readable text with bright and attractive photographs, and it would make a good place to start researching if you are interested in owning a Shiba Inu of your own.
That said, though, do not expect this book to become your bible of Shiba Inu information. Like many books of this sort, this 'complete' manual focuses on the positives of Shiba Inus, without giving proper attention to the challenges inherent with the breed. For example, no mention is made anywhere of the breed's tendency to nip when excited even well past the puppy ages, or to do anything and everything (door-dashing, fence climbing, etc.) to escape and seek adventures beyond their yard. The book describes Shibas as a breed requiring 'moderate energy' and claims that a Shiba generally gets enough exercise playing in the house. Anyone who has owned a Shiba knows that this is not true; Shibas are easily bored when they are not exercised well, and when bored they will dig, chew, and otherwise destroy their environment.
All told, it's an okay book. It offers practical (if basic) advice on choosing a puppy, housetraining, introducing a Shiba to other pets and children. An overview of the breed history and standard is included, but most of what is found here could also be found in any book about any dog breed. The only leg up it has on other breed-specific books is that the pictures are very attractive and plentiful.
Book Description
Written by a popular dog-book author and long-time devoted Shiba owner Andrew De Prisco, this Comprehensive Owner's Guide provides a concise overview of the breed's history in Japan, England and the US as well as insightful chapters on the Shiba's characteristics, requirements, puppy selection and training.
Customer Reviews:
Worth Having!.......2007-01-04
If you're a Shiba Inu enthusiast, this book will be a welcome addition to your library. It's written by someone who owns and loves Shiba Inus, so unlike other breed-specific books that deal mostly in generalities, this book is specific and reasonably honest. The book is substantial and contains a lot of good, respectable information without being too heavy-handed or condescending. It also contains a lot of beautiful color photography.
Shiba Inu.......2006-11-03
Wonderful book if you have a Shiba or plan on having one. Lots of tips.
a good overall review to shibas world.......2006-04-24
I own a shiba inu and am always interested to have proper infos about this fascinating kind of dog. I have to say that one finds a lot of wonderful shiba colour pictures together with infos which are fortunately more interesting for a simple owner than a professional breeder.
Shibas lovers should pay attention to a hidden info regarding another book of the same author, "Japanese Shiba (Special Rare Breed Edition) ISBN 1-903098-65-3, which is just identical to this one apart from the cover. Be careful not to buy twice the same book...
Author shares Shiba experience.......2005-01-03
The author penned a very amusing book on Shibas and shared with us his experience and knowledge of the breed. This is a well organized book for the new Shiba owner or someone contemplating this breed. ... stories and facts are told to tickle the reader; in contrast, Payton's thin tome is packed concisely but serious in delivery. I strongly suggest both books as the best of the lot out there.

Shiba Inu calendar.......2007-01-10
This is a very nice calendar, the pictures are beautiful. The only thing that disappointed me was except for one picture, all of the others were pictures of the red colored shibu inus not the multicolored which is what I have at home.
Book Description
The Shiba Inu, one of the oldest native dogs of Japan, has grown in status as a popular show and companion dog. This top-quality book details the temperament of the Shiba and gives invaluable advice on training and socialization. The Breed Standard is discussed and there is a special section on showing and judging the breed.

Hard to find, but worth the search.......2005-03-23
I have not one Shiba Inu, but two. If you don't have a Shiba that sounds like no feat. However, if you do have a Shiba you may know that there is a certain level of challenge in owning a Shiba. This book was incredibly helpful. It had great pictures, information and resources for further information. You can tell it was written by a person who really knows Shibas. I wish I would have had this book a year ago, my life would have been much simpler. For anyone who has been captivated by those little almond eyes and going to buy a Shiba in the near future, buy this book. It's hard to track down, but easy to find than a canine behaviorist who is fluent in Japanese culture.
Great intro to shibas........2003-08-19
One of two excellent books on shibas, the other being Gretchen Haskett's The Total Shiba. The Complete Shiba has lots of color photos (Haskett's is all B&W), and is good enough to be your only shiba book. The only reason to buy Haskett's instead of Atkinson's would be to get the great list of Japanese name suggestions. The publisher is no longer Macmillan - it's Howell Book House (Wiley), )

Good Book on A "Rare" Breed.......2001-09-30
This book gives good information. Maybe a little heavy on the showing/breeding and a little light on the housepet stuff but that is fine. It is funny how it talks about the dog throwing up the first car ride home (mine did!) and its overall temperament. It was 100% accurate! Definitely buy if you are looking at buying or have bought a Shiba.
Great Book for the Shiba Owner.......1999-11-25
I really enjoyed this book. I breed Shibas here in America and even though this book was written by a UK breeder, it is wonderful. If you are considering getting a Shiba, you really need this book. It has a lot of great information on grooming and training a Shiba. I have all my future puppy owners get this Shiba book over all others. It is really geared for your typical pet Shiba owner, but breeders would also find it useful, especially in pedigree research of British Shibas.
Very informative.......1999-10-06
If you're researching the breed, this is your book. Very detailed background behind the Shiba, temperment, what to expect, breed standards, health, you name it, it's in there. Good resource book.

Good Reference.......2007-09-06
This book is a good reference source for the meaningful information on cars produced through this period. We are not talking War And Peace, though from the heft of it you might think so. Very dry and factual. It also illustrates why alot of the 70's were a terrible time for cars. It even lists my old plymouth cricket!
American Cars 1946-75.......2007-08-06
If you are a car buff you have to have this book. I own this book as well as the now out-of-print American cars 1805-1942. These are the bibles of car history. No other books have what these have. A real bargain for all the detailed information you get. Strongly recommended.
CD rom.......1999-11-25
Does anyone know if this book is available as a cd rom
An indispensable tool for collector car enthusiasts........1998-02-11
The Standard Catalog of American Cars is the best source for in-depth information on all makes of American cars. In addition to thousands of photos, the catalog includes specs, serial numbers, production totals, and current values on a 1 to 6 scale. Specs include original prices, weight, options, engines, overall length, wheelbase lenth, locations of factories, and much more. It's a great first source for anyone that's thinking of buying an older American car. It arms the potential buyer with enough information to have an intelligent conversation with anyone selling classic cars. With the information in this book, I've talked to sellers and knew more about their car than they did. As an old car collector and hobbyist, I've found it to be an indispensable tool. The only criticism I have is that I wish it had more photos in general, especially color.

Customer Reviews:
not what i expected.......2005-03-03
when i read the title of this item, i got the idea that it was an australian publication. since i have been impressed with the australian quilts i have seen in, for instance, quilters' newsletter magazine, i looked forward to a whole book of australian style.
these quilts are australian, they were originally published in an aussie mag, but the publisher of this book is american, and i believe the quilts included in this book were chosen to appeal to americans, not to showcase aussie design.
the quilts are not bad at all--it's just that i have a lot of similar patterns in other books and in magazines. the designs are on the safe side, unlikely to offend anyone. but having seen the quality of australian embroidery designs, and examples of really fabulous quilts from australia, these do not thrill me.
if you are a begining quilter with only a few books in your library, this would probably be worth your time. however, if you already have resources, or are looking for real australian style, look elsewhere.
