The Book of the Dog

You don't need to be a Dog Lover to the a The-Book-of-the-Dog Lover. This handsome, impeccably designed volume features gorgeous, yet understated, canine portraits and paintings spanning the past two centuries. You are sure to find your favorite breed accompanied by a witty quote or anecdote. I can't wait to gift it to my dog-loving/book-loving friends. It feels good to hold in your hands (like the best books) and every page is itself a work of art. If you are looking for "a smile in the mind", look no further. This book will delight you in a simple, restrained, but secretly exuberant way - much like the company of a much-beloved canine.

Love this book. There's everything from impressionist style to realism and the prints are lovely. There are a few descriptions about the artwork and some quotes. I was bummed at first that it only came in paperback but the cover is a heavyweight linen paper so it has a nice texture to it.My only complaint is that it came in an envelope that wasn't very protective. The corners were a little bent when I opened it. Nothing that's extremely obvious but it's a little disappointing because the book is beautiful.

This compilation of dog images by artists is delightful. As an artist and dog lover, it suits me perfectly. A fellow artist/dog mom gave me my first copy and now I keep purchasing them for friends and family. It's not very pricy and makes an excellent little gift.

Lovely book but definitely looked second hand which was disappointing. Gave it to my 7 year old niece however so it wasn't a showstopper. She loved it.

Just what I was looking for for a dog lover.

Gorgeous and inspiring little book.

Beautiful art

Un libro curioso sobre los perros en la pintura. Agradable para todos aquellos a los que, además de la pintura, son amantes de los perros.Excelente el trato recibido por Amazon y la Editorial, ya que el primer ejemplar vino un poco deteriorado y al ser, mas bien, un libro para mi coleccion dedicada a la pintura, no dudaron en eviarme otro nuevo, justo al día siguiente de comunicarlo, sin haber devuelto el deteriorado.De nuevo un ¡ole! por Amazón.
