Book Description

Excellent.......2007-05-20
This book is an excellent resource for anyone who is contemplating getting an Old English Sheepdog. It has a wealth of information on the breed and I found it a great help in preparing for our new puppy.
Old English Sheepdog.......2006-07-09
A great book for those who own anb OES or thinking about getting one. There is alot of information about these dogs and this is the best I have found
WOW. The best OES book I've seen. Perfect........2006-01-02
Well, the American Kennel Club has found a book that merits it's seal of approval. If all of their breed books are this good, they'll put everyone else out of business. It is that good. Details about the breed, pluses and minuses, basics of training and healthcare, tailored to the breed. Just great. I would recommend this series to anyone who is a first time dog owner, or who wants a comprehensive book about their breed.
I've read a lot of breed books, training books and magazines, have dog breeders and trainers in the family, and this is the best breed book I've seen.

Big Ben Review.......2003-05-07
The theme of the story is never give up if it's really important. This story is believable because the dogs ran away, which is something most dogs do. The characters in Big Ben were kids who went out searching for their old English Sheepdog and Mrs. Fitz's Poodle. The characters were believable because they cared enough to go looking for the dogs, and not waiting for the dogs to come home on their own. The setting was very real, and could have taken place anywhere in the U.S. I thought this book was interesting because parts of the story surprised me. Iwould recommend this book to anyone who likes animals.
The big softie.......2001-02-28
when julie and her dog , ben move to compton they don`t exactly make friends with their neighbour Mrs fitz and her dog , but when it snows mrs fitz`s dog goes missing not long after that ben goes missing aswell. not long after neil and emily are on the case will they find the two dogs alive ? get the book and find out ha ha ha !
Big Ben Review.......2000-12-30
This is a good book to read because Mrs.Fiz thought Ben was a bad dog but Mrs.Fiz found out Ben was good.
A exciting adventure!.......2000-07-18
Big Ben was a good book and was exciting, but was not among my favorites of the Puppy Patrol series. Well, if you like big cuddley sheepdogs and little pampered poodles, this may be your favorite Puppy Patrol book.
Book Description
Before winning recognition as an artist and writer, Emily Carr served as landlady to an apartment building where she bred English sheep dogs to supplement a meager income. A collection of stories about those hard-working days, The House of All Sorts features vividly portrayed tenants who frequently surprise Carr with their foibles, as well as the beloved canines who provide her with companionship. Carr is at her most acerbic and rueful, but also filled with vitality and an inextinguishable hope.

Comprehensive Overview.......2006-03-15
In comparison to other books about specific breeds of dogs, this stands out as an exception. Full of history, care and disease information about Old English Sheepdog. I keep copy on my coffee table. Constantly looking up details as my OES grows through puppyhood.
OES.......2005-08-06
As a proud owner of my 3rd OES, this is a wonderful basic book...written with humor...and some great photos!
Best O.E.S. book I ever read.......2002-01-15
As a O.E.S.owner and breeder I found this to be a MUST for any new O.E.S. owner. After reading the book cover to cover I believe it has the most accurate information and advise of any Dog book that I have ever read on O.E.S. My compliants to anyone to had anything to do with the information included in this book. Even a layman can tell that the photos were of well breed and well cared for animals.
An excellent guide for the new or prospective OES owner!!.......1999-08-29
According to the cover, this book was written as a "Pet Owner's Guide" and truly lives up to it's name! It is an excellent tool for anyone who is interested in purchasing an Old English Sheepdog puppy as a companion or family pet. There is also a section that informs the reader how to find an adult dog and explains about breed rescue programs.
The author completely covers all aspects of Old English Sheepdog ownership, beginning with how to find the 'right' puppy or adult. It is written in a clear, easy to understand style while realistically informing the prospective owner of the "cons" as well as the "pros" of living with an Old English Sheepdog. The book contains many color photographs some of which illustrate the versatility of the breed.
As an owner, breeder and exhibitor of Old English Sheepdogs for 27 years, I feel this book is a "MUST READ" for anyone considering this breed as a pet.

"Short, Sweet, and Hard to Beat".......2007-01-03
At 96 pages, this book charms without trying to be charming. The prose is beautiful, without unnecessary adornment, caring without being sentimental, and wise in its observations about life without preaching. I am always looking out for a 'sleeper'--a book relatively undiscovered and special-- that I can give my best friends, aged aunties, young moms, children, that is not trite or trendy or filled with the obvious. The sketches by the author reveal both depth of feeling and simplicity.
This was my introduction to Emily Carr, and a week later I'm half-way through her autobiography (Growing Pains) and looking up her paintings on the Internet.
Enjoy!!

Book Description
Globalization has produced a new class of transnational art collectors who are changing the nature of collecting. Latin Americans have participated in this process from its inception, challenging mainstream biases and cultural stereotypes to build collections of extraordinary quality. Collecting Latin American Art for the 21st Century, published by the Department of Latin American Art and International Center for the Arts of the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), explores the shifting profile of Latin American collections. What are the challenges of collecting the art of such a heterogeneous region? How have local collectors balanced individual tastes with the demands of a globalized art world? Through a series of case studies, contributors examine the history and context behind this largely unprecedented trend. Five essays follow an introduction by Mari Carmen Ramírez. Tomás Ybarra-Frausto examines the cultural exchange resulting from circular migration between Latin American and U.S. Latino populations, and he calls upon institutions like the MFAH to foster additional dialogue. Olivier Debroise traces the transition in Mexican art patronage from its nationalist origins to its present international climate. Marcelo Pacheco considers the economic boom in 1990s Argentina and the resulting rise in entrepreneurial, globally oriented collectors. Luis Pérez Oramas discusses the collection of Patricia and Gustavo Cisneros as a benchmark for enlightened collecting. And Beverly Adams outlines the history of collecting Latin American art in the United States, articulating the challenges ahead for collectors on this side of the border.

Ultimate book on creating beautiful wreaths for your home.......2002-04-03
This is a wonderful book! It has been in my collection for several years now and I have used it a countless number of times for inspiration and as a valuable reference guide in creating my own floral designs.
Whether you are a novice or have been making floral crafts for years, this is the ultimate book on creating beautiful wreaths for your home. It outlines everything you need to know to get started: identifying and explaining in detail the different types of tools, supplies and floral materials commonly used in floral crafting, as well as providing step-by-step instructions for basic floral techniques and bow making. Once you get a feel for the basics, there are 94 beautifully illustrated projects to create or to be inspired by, including some neat alternatives to the basic wreath. I highly recommend this book.
Wreaths pictured are very unattractive........1999-10-27
I was very disappointed in the wreaths that the author was going to help me make, because as many as there were (a lot) I found them overloaded with decorations, unbalanced and nothing I would make to give or sell. The step by step "recipes" for each wreath did have some helpful tips for the novice.
This book is creative and colorful........1999-09-17
How To Do Wreaths gives you good ideas. And the easy to follow step by step instructions are very helpful. Also included are the tools needed to get yourself atarted. Overall a very useful book.

The ultimate book on how to arrange dried florals.......2002-04-03
This is a wonderful book! If you only want one book on dried floral arranging this is the one to have. Whether you are just starting out or have been doing floral crafts for years, this book offers plenty of projects (over 90) to create or to be inspired by and in typical Leisure Arts fashion, each project is beautifully illustrated with colored photographs of both the projects and the step-by-step instructions.
Some good ideas, over-done and off balance........1999-10-27
There are some good project-ideas in this book but for me the results are unattractive, overloaded with flowers and accents and not balanced. I would not want to make very many of these as shown although there are helpful tips on "how to" that I can use. I was disappointed.
Worth having on the shelf!.......1999-06-12
Even if you are familiar with drieds, this book stimulates your imagination with new ideas. Many ranges of ideas--great for making wreaths and other gift items for those whose taste differs from yours. Can also be used like a "cookbook" with great results.
A great guide book for both the beginners and the experts.......1998-10-25
It has everything you need to know to start your dried floral arrangement projects. It features different types of projects you can do such as wreaths, bouquets, wall decors, accents, holiday items. Highly recommended.
The best book for dried florals I have ever owned.......1998-10-11
This book is great for anyone. It is discriptive and full of great pictures. It has all kinds of different arrangements for the holidays as well as the different seasons. I highly recommend it.
