reviewed The New Encyclopedia of the Dog on March 14, 2016 The New Encyclopedia of the Dog
This was my FAVORITE BOOK as a child. I carried it everywhere I could take a big book. I memorized facts about nearly every breed I could. I was gifted this by my parents when I was 8 years old and by the time I was 18 it had bite marks from, well, our dog. Because of this book, I can now look at dogs and guess their breeds. And know the history of that breed and various facts about them.
Does that make me a bit of a dog snob? Maybe. Hell, all I know is that this was an incredible, organized book that kept my attention for years and years. I wouldn't read it constantly, but I would flip open to a page and read about a different breed every day.
When people ask me what book made me like reading, I answer this one, which is a bit odd.
