How
to order
This is a self-made website by
little old me, and while
it might be big, it is not
sophisticated. The little 
icon takes you to a generic order form where
you can type in the author,
title, price, and indicate whether you would
like to send me a check or
PayPal payment. I will confirm
availability via e-mail, and once
I've received payment, I'll ship the
book. It's that easy.
If you have questions, please don't
hesitate to ask via
email.

Condition Grades
There's a standard bookseller
vocabulary, with terms like
Fine,
Very Good, Good and Poor to
assess condition (to see these terms
defined, click on the link above). Most
of my books are in Very Good
or better condition, and I tend to
overemphasize their flaws so that any
surprise is a pleasant one. Feel free to
ask questions, and if the
book isn't in the condition described, you may
return it for a full refund.

Wants Lists
If I don't have the book you
seek in stock, I will retain
your book search in my wants files and email
you when I do
have a copy for sale. If you don't hear back
from me immediately, that
probably means I don't have a copy right
now. But fear not,
I keep extensive files and never stop
looking.... so send
me your request; you've got
nothing to lose!

My husband and I sat and read it as
soon as it
arrived. He had seen one illustration from the
book Puppies
for Keeps, but not the book
itself. This book rings
all too true. Having raised many litters of
puppies and finding it
next to impossible to give them up, (my husband much
worse than I am )
we are no longer breeders, but happily, caretakers of 15
Pekingese. Many
thanks. We will cherish this book forever.

This
isn't just a list of dog books: this is a children's book
list arranged
alphabetically by dog breed. (When I stopped on the sidewalk to
say hello
to a Tasha Tudor dog, and only a few hours later was
talking to someone
else about her Toto-dog, I knew I needed to compile this list.)
Don't you
need a book to go with your dog? Of course you do. Feel free to
tell me
other favorites I've missed (there are many).
