What Labs Love (Pets)

Amazon.com

You love your Lab--but do you know what Labs love? Everything, according to this sweetly humorous little book from Ed Camelli and Mike Singer. What Labs Love is the perfect gift for any person or family with a Labrador, and its adorable color photos and amusing text make it a great picture book for dog-loving youngsters as well. Labs are pictured in everyday activities--catching Frisbees, chasing balls, licking faces, and swimming are just a few of the standard favorites that will find you saying, "Oh, remember when our Lab did that?" More unusual circumstances include wearing Easter Bunny ears, sitting in a kayak wearing a life jacket, and heading down a playground slide with a young friend; you may not have seen your pooch in similar situations, but it will be tempting to convince her to try! Camelli's photos capture Labs at their affectionate best, from rolling in the grass to cuddling with a kitten, and Singer's text manages to be both admiring and teasing: what can you say about a picture of a relaxed dog getting his ears scratched being accompanied by "Labs even love a Vulcan mind-meld?" The book is dedicated to a Lad-Lucy, whom the owner credits with "teaching me all about Labrador love." The last two pages of the book are blank frames so you can paste in photos of your own pup. Make sure you keep the book away from your own Lab, unless you think a few teeth marks would be an appropriate addition. --Jill Lightner

Book Description

Lab owners love their dogs, and they'll fall for this full-color gift book, too.

For centuries, Labs have captivated humanity -- from child to adult, from urban denizen to country dweller. This photo essay captures Labrador Retrievers as they have accompanied people in their life-journeys, personifying the playfulness, loyalty and collegiality that have made Labs one of the most sought after companion animals.

Funny and Diverting Book About Labrador Retrievers.......2003-03-20

For those of us who share their lives with God's most nearly perfect earthly creation, i.e., Labrador Retrievers, a book like this is sure to elicit a smile of recognition and an acute sense of recollection. For contained within these pages are a plethora of familiar dog photos, snapshots of moments cpatured forever both on film and in our hearts. I have enjoyed the company of Labradors for over two decades now, and must admit that very often it seems my life centers around my relationship to the four dogs who share my house and my life.

So, for someone like me, this humorous little book from Ed Camelli and Mike Singer is the perfect gift, its bevy of color photos and amusing text making it a great picture book for coffee table or kitchen counter. Herein Labs are caught in the midst of everyday activities--in mid-air with Frisbees, in pursuit of thrown balls, smooching faces, and engaging in their beloved water sports. I once heard a Labrador described (accurately) as a creature who would stray five miles out of its way just to jump with boundless enthusiasm into an overgrown mud puddle. Labs simply adore water, and I have even been surprised in the shower by Labrador puppies who could resist the call of the wet and wild!

Camelli's photos seem to consistently catch the Labs at key moments whether they be rolling in the grass or cuddling with a playful kitten. Likewise, Singer's text threads a consistent amsuing yet memorable message through the pages, one that amplifies and reinforces the photos. Indeed, what does one say in words to describe the heady experience portrayed in a photo of a Lab in virtual ecstasy while getting his ears, which he describes as a "Lab loving a Vulcan mind-meld." This is a lovely little book, and one any dog lover will truly enjoy!

Fantastic, fun book.......2002-10-03

This book has wonderful pictures and captions! Any dog lover will enjoy it whether they have a particular interest in labs or not. My daughter, 18 months, also loves looking at it herself. This would be a great gift or coffee table book.

100 superb, dynamic photographs of Labrador Retrievers.......2001-08-07

100 superb, dynamic photographs of Labrador Retrievers highlight Mike Singer's What Labs Love, an excellent book for dog aficionados. This always reliable dog breed is showcased physically and emotionally in a heartwarming, enjoyable celebration. Especially recommended for Lab owners, or for folks who just plain love Labs, What Labs Love is for anyone who delights in the unconditional love and adoration of a family canine.

Fun, furry photos.......2001-02-28

This book is great for all dog lovers-not just Lab lovers. The photos are fun and capture what it is about labs that we all love. My nephew loves this book too because it's easy to read and he gets a kick out of the pictures.

I found this book very interesting and was able to identify glassware not found in other books. Great for reference, good pictures and more glass makers.
Great Book.

I was already familiar with the publication, so I knew what to expect. That's why I purchased it.

This book has already paid for its self........2006-11-07

This book is a little large to be carrying around, however I still do carry it to places that I already know will have the pattern I am looking for.
The forward describes "Elegant" glassware as handmade and acid etched glassware that was sold by department and jewelry stores during the Depression era through the 1950's, differentiating it from the dime store and giveaway glass that has become known as Depression glass. The word "Elegant" has become "official" nomenclature among today's dealers for designating handmade glass.
It is well organized with the glass patterns in alphabetical order and the prices in columns by color of glass. Most of the pictures are color and have good enough definition to identify what you are looking at. There are a contents by pattern and a contents by company.

a thing of beauty,.......2002-09-07

gene florence , any of his books are concise and show the items in a clear picture . he presents the items along with the current prices . all of genes books as is this one , are lovely to look at and very informative, giving a lot of joy.

Beautiful Book.......2002-08-18

Orginally purchased for my mother, I purchased it also after looking through it. The original reason for the book was to attempt to id some etched glass, the glass was not in the book, but it was worth it anyway. Beautiful photos, good writing, I saw pieces I had not known exsited. Who knew that such elegant depression glass was out there! I would not recommend it for the "flea market" or "yard sale" groupie, one of his Collectors Encyclopedias may work better, but it is still a very nice book and well worth it if you collect or deal in higher end depression glass.

Great guide to inform and direct you !.......2002-04-05

This is another fave of mine from Gene Florence!He sure knows what he is writing about!!!This book is loaded with color photos of many different types of depression glass.I never realized how many patterns,and companies,there were out there!!!He also is very thorough about listing what pieces were in what colors and the values for each color.
Overall a fantastic book!

Best of the Best.......2001-08-11

I have a number of collector books, including Elegant Glassware of the Depression Era : Identification and Value Guide (8th Ed)by Gene Florence. Gene Florence books are my favorite by far. This book is very well formatted. It is loaded with clear pictures that are helpful in pattern identification, informative text, and has easy-to-use pricing guides. The book indexes the glassware by pattern name and by manufacturer.

Whether you are a novice collector or "expert", I am sure you will find this book to be very helpful. Gene Florence's down-to-earth presentation of glassware is refreshing and practical!
