1. I had recently got the cutest little Persian Kitten. As a new cat owner I purchased this book to get information specific to the breed. Outside a few pages of breed information, history and pictures, everything else was just general cat information. I would have expected more on breed care, grooming, and health concerns.



2. This book is a good book for its size that does covers the basics that you need to know.Shows many variations of the Persians.For me personally finding a book that shows the blue eyed Chinchilla was a bonus.Plenty of colour photos throughout.
   
   If you are thinking of buying a Persian Cat this book will be a good start.Plenty of information here.For its size the book has a lot going for it.The photos are a treat,You're gonna love the photos in this book! This book has a lot to offer and is good value.Overall,a good quality book.
   
   I would suggest that this book be your first book on Persians then consider books on how to look after your kitten(s) and even the Cat encyclopedia type books after.



3. The photos inside are very nice but it doesn't represent the standart of persian cat. Here in Brazil the Persian cat is very diferent. Persian's face (principally Persian's nose) is much more different than it is showing in this book.



4. This book covers ALL cats in general, it's not specific enough for Persians.
   Dissappointing.



5. I liked the box, was in good condition, and found the book informative and answered several questions which was my reason for purchasing the book. I was very well satisfied with the book and the quality of the product. Would purchase with that company again.

1. I bought the book looking for specific information about Persians. What I got was a little information about Persians and a lot of information about cats in general. I guess if I were interested in breeding or showing, this might be the book to buy, but for a simple cat fancier, it doesn't do it for me.



2. All the information in there I can find it in a cats magazine. VERY basic information and quite obvious.



3. Having recently purchased a Persian I thought this book would be a great place to start - how wrong I was! Only 2 pages dedicated to their behaviour and understanding them so not much use at all to me really. Also it is important to note that (apparently) European Persians have a tendency to have very different personalities to US ones, also in the US Persians are less likely to be 'extreme' (i.e. flat faced).

   No information at all on special the dietry requirements of a Persian(in the UK, premium foods such as Hills, Jameswellbeloved etc are recommended by the experts, but no mention of this in book).

   Lots of breeder information which is great if you want to breed but it only relates to the USA. Probably a book worth 2 out of 5 in you live in the states, but for UK or European readers i'd give this book a miss.




4. This new edition is much more user friendly! It's filled with great information on Persians, like what specific combs and brushes to use. How to give a bottom bath. The lion cut. Not much on genetics, other than genetic disorders, since you can get that anywhere.. And the description of a show hall is right on! And things anyone can use like introducing a new kitten, breaking bad litter pan habits.



5. You probably already know more about Persians than the book writer himself.
   Disappointing.
   Better to spend more and really Learn about Persian cats.

1. I had read this parody of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat as a childand dearly loved it. I finally found a copy of it and my memory hasserved me well. Oliver Herford's cleverly written tale of an adorable Persian kitten's misadventures will enthrall any cat lover. END

1 comments about The Complete Persian (Book of the Breed S).

1. Synopsis:
   A reference to keeping Persian cats which offers advice for the breeder, exhibitor and pet owner on caring for these pedigree animals and includes a history of the breed.
   
   In this book, two world-class experts, one British and one American, draw on their combined experience as breeders and judges of Persians to provide the most comprehensive study of Persians so far published. Thompson and Wickham-Ruffle look at the origins and evolution of the breed, give invaluable advice on choosing a Persian, and discuss how to groom and care for it.
   
   There are chapters on breeding and judging as well, with an in-depth analysis of the Breed Standard. Illustrations, which feature a stunning color section, include a gallery of outstanding examples of Persians from the early days of the Fancy to the present day. Written for the breeder, judge and owner, this is the book that all Persian enthusiasts have been waiting for.

1. Very informing book. I bought this before I got my persian to help me with the purchase. Beautiful pics. Told me what to look for in purchasing and about breeding.



2. The only reason this book deserved a three-star rating is for the nice photography and the basic information. If you know nothing about Persians, and have never had one, then whatever you learn is a plus and you would probably benefit from this book. However, if you are experienced with Persians, you will probably find little here that you do not already know, or have not already read in other general cat care books. Granted, many cat breeds have some distinct characteristics, such as the tendancy of some Persians' eyes to "tear and run," and the extra grooming requirements necessary not only for Persians but for any long-haired cat. It is what you might call "Lesson 101 in Persian Education."



3. I think this book is a great Help to anyone thinking of purchasing a Persian.
   
   It covers many, many aspects of the Persian breed. And the information is quite valuable.
   
   I am a breeder of Persions.
   I highly recommend this book !
