Tells it like it is.......2006-01-26
Briefly..
We read this book, and others before adopting our Malamute. We found it to be right on the money. Especially important are the parts of the book that discuss on whether you personally are up to adopting a Malamute.
Personally, I wouldn't have another Dog, period. But they are absolutely not for everybody. Better read this book and some others before getting one of these precious and gorgeous animals. If you decide not to, it makes a beautiful addition to any library.
A Prospective Mal Owner.......2002-03-17
As a prospective Mal owner I found this book very imformative, more so than some of the larger and more expensive books which I have in my collection. Especially the section ARE YOU THE RIGHT PERSON FOR A MAL. I found this especially interesting as a Mal is not suitable for just anyone. A well written book with plenty of good information which some other books don't cover enough. I recommend this book to anyone, new and old Mal owners alike.
Wonderful Book!.......2000-11-14
I am owned by a Malamute - only mine is the giant breed and I have to say that this book is EXCELLENT and right on the mark. I loved the history of the breed as well as what I can expect. Yes, they are stubborn. Yes, they are pack animals, with the family as their pack and yes they do howl! The section on whether or not this dog is right for you was great! Not everyone can be owned by a Mal - and I thank the author for that!!
The information is precise and well researched and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. After being owned one of these gorgeous creatures, you won't want any other kind of dog!
I have the book lying out on my table and everyone always wants to look through it.
If you are a Mal owner - this is one great book to have!
Excellent resource.......2000-04-13
I purchased this book because I was considering a Malamute for a pet. After reading it, I decided that I didn't have the right environment for a Malamute. I still think they are beautiful dogs, but I'm not the right owner for one. It's very informative and easy to understand.
The book every malamute owner or potential owner should have.......1999-02-14
A fantastic book filled with such good, sound information the reader wonders how they got it all into so few pages. The book tells all about the normal things like grooming, feeding, and health, but it tells you so much about the history, how to train or find the right trainer, activity needs, and breeding issues. The book also has a wonderful section on "Do you know what you're getting into?". The excellent pictures in this book alone are worth the price.
Book Description
This is the most in-depth book on Malamutes ever. Follow along as the authors trace pedigrees back to the original foundation stock, discuss differences in blood-lined, analyze the breed standard, delve into color genetics, inherited diseased, and much more, you'll cherish this beautiful volume and refer to it as your "bible" for years to come! Training techniques that really work Tips for getting involved with working events such as packing and sledding
Customer Reviews:
Interesting, but too theoretical.......2007-09-10
The book is well written and consist of a wealth of knowledge about the breed. Unfortunately it is to theoretical and not as practical as I hoped it would be. Also the pics are dull and in black and white and doesn't give the book an attractive feel to it. Also some chapters in the book are useless information unless u plan to write a thesis about the first dogs in the line. Overall some useful info. in this book but will not consider it to be the ultimate book to describe Alaskan malamutes
Most important book for a potential or current Mal owner.......2007-05-06
We bought this book shortly after it first came out and from that point forward we have purchased copies for anyone who has gotten one of our puppies. We feel strongly that along with our mentoring new owners, this book provides a resource for them to understand their dog. Bobbie Brooks has done an outstanding service to our breed with this book!
The best book to understand the Alaskan Malamute.......2007-03-13
You will find all you need to know about this fantastic breed from grooming, showing, training, and of course the origin. I recommend it to everyone who loves mals like me!! (greetings from Malta Europe)
It's the Malamute Owner's Manual!.......2006-07-27
I wish a bought this book before I got my first Malamute. It's got everything about the breed. As a malamute owner, it's one of the best books I've ever bought. I would even bet it's the most comprehensive book ever written on ANY dog breed!
Helluva dog. Helluva book........2006-06-21
This book tells it straight about the butchest dog there is. You can't say fairer than that.
Book Description
An undeniably impressive Artic Dog from the largest state in the Union, the Alaskan Malamute was originally bred to haul sledges across the icy tundra of Alaska for its Mahlemut keepers. Settlers in the region recognized the native sled dogs' superior working ability and prized them for their speed and racing acumen. Although few Malamutes are used as haulers or racers today, the breed still retains the strength, determination and ability to perform as a working dog of great endurance. The breed's abilities have been effectively harnessed to transform it into an exceptional pet and loyal family companion.
This book is an excellent introduction to the Alaskan Malamute, including a look at the breed's fascinating origins, special traits and characteristics. The book discusses the breed standard and offers advice on selecting a well-bred puppy, raising the puppy, housebreaking and obedience lessons, grooming and much more.
Newcomers and experienced fanciers will welcome this excellent new resource on the breed and regard it as a valuable addition to their breed library.
Customer Reviews:
Must be read before the D-Day!.......2005-08-04
If you plan to get a Mal, you should buy this book before.

Best for the price, very accurate and up to date with new owner concern.

Customer Reviews:
A book not about Malamutes.......2000-02-01
I felt cheated when I got this book.
It is not a book about Malamutes, contrary to the title. It is a book about general dog care, and not a very good one at that. Except for the pictures and a brief description about the breed, it could as well as be about any other breed, as the emphase seems to be on home and show dogs, and definitely not on Arctic dogs
The same publisher has published essentially the same book with a different title ('Siberian Huskies') and a different author name.
Anyone with a serious interest in Alaskan Malamutes should find this book useless.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!.......1999-06-02
I lOVE this book!!!! I got it for Christmas and WOW!!!! This book has BEAUTIFUL PICS!!!! I love it SO much I REALLY recommend this picture and information full book!!!!!
Customer Reviews:
Not a great book for a new owner.......2002-01-22
This book is full of great history on the breed and information on how to show and sled your dog (once you get to that stage in growth and training!). If you have or are bringing home a new puppy it is not the book for you. I searched for this book because it was recommended to me. I think now that recommendation was only because this certain breeder had a few "mentions" in the book. I am looking for NOW information on my new puppy. This book is great for my friends who stop by -- they look at the pictures.
A Malamute Bible.......1998-06-17
If you already own a malamute or are thinking of getting one this book prvides the best guide for you. It not only tells you the pros about the breed but also the cons, and gives you a realistic look on what the breed is about. Ignorance leads to problems with malamutes so the best way to prepare yourself is HAVE THIS BOOK!!! Remember Owning A Malamute Is Not A Right! It Is A Privillage! Jamie Wiatowski, Mimmenuk Alaskan Malamutes
The Alaskan Malamute Owners' "Bible".......1998-01-19
The New Complete Alaskan Malamute is exactly what the title implies, a compendium of facts and relative information about the breed. Covered are aspects of the history, personality of the breed, sledding, backpacking, medical/genetic issues, grooming, the breed Standard interpreted, a glossary of terms, and much much more. For the prospective or fisrt-time owner, and even long term fancier, this book is a gem for the wealth, depth and breadth of information. Acquisition of this notable work is a must for all fanciers.
Excellent Book on Malamutes! Owner of 4 Alaskan Malamutes.......1997-11-02
This is an Excellent book on Alaskan Malamutes. We presently own 3 Mals and are getting our first show Malamute in Dec. of 1997. I highly recommend this book to those who are getting their first Alaskan Malamute or people that already have one. It covers everything from the beginning of the Alaskan Malamute, showing conformation, obedience, medical problems, to sledding with these wonderful dogs.
good book of history on Malamutes.......1997-09-29
For a first time mal owner this book would be just Ok, not one of the top three to buy, however, I personally am a history buff and this is a must and it gives back ground of why mals act the way they do or do not do something. I like it.

alaskan malamute.......2004-05-13
breed specific book tells it like it is to own an alaskan malamute. good advice presented in clear readable style with many photo illustrations. covers training, grooming, breeding, breed specific health care, and showing. you really couldn't want more in a book in this price range. in fact this book seems to have the answers for your tough questions about this breed!
A very disapointing book.......2002-01-08
Very watered down. Not many useful information.

Book Description
The foremost experts on cut glass of the 1876 to 1916 period, Bill and Louise Boggess, have brought together vital information for collectors to identify, select, and evaluate cut glass. All collectors will have to own this important new reference book. In Collecting American Brilliant Cut Glass, patterns are identified, signatures are shown, and major American companies are described. Thousands of cut glass pieces are shown in 1065 photographs. Even the unusual colored glass examples are illustrated. Each piece is graded for its rarity.
Book Description
Valuable new information on American Brilliant Cut Glass is presented in the Boggesses' most recent work, Diverse sources including 135 originals catalogs, patent records, magazine advertisements and personal interviews with people within the glass industry as well as collectors and dealers were used to complete this thorough study. Patterns, colored patterns and their variations, common and unusual shapes, changing terminology, and signature marks are all discussed in detail. Rare pieces, such as those appearing in Exhibitions, are also addressed. Over 950 photographs illustrate this comprehensive text.

Excellent Reference Book.......2001-01-09
This is a beautiful book that has exquisite B&W photos of cut and engraved glass. Of particular interest is the historical information about the glass industry, as well as the fascinating text on the step-by-step process of making and cutting glass. If you are looking for an informational book about the cut glass industry, I would recommend this one. If, however, you are looking for a book that can be used as a guide when purchasing or selling cut glass, this is probably not the best resource. There were particular patterns I was searching for from a New York based glass company that were not mentioned in the book. In fact, of the approx. 60 patterns this company made before it closed in 1933, only one is referenced.
Book Description
This invaluable guide is not only a basic reference but an identification tool that can be taken to auctions, shows, exhibits, and antique shops. This expanded fourth edition includes a newly updated value guide, the catalog names for various shapes in cut glass, and the identity of 280 patterns of American and Canadian glass by catalog name. Many patterns are identified for the first time. It points out 130 cut glass pieces by company signatures, patent records, and magazine advertisements. In addition, this revised edition shows you how to analyze a pattern by finding the miter outline and matching it and the motifs to an illustration or picture in a catalog or book. It gives practical advice for buying and collecting unidentified pieces and answers questions on acid polish, repairs, investments, insurance, upgrading, and selling a collection. Over 900 exquisite photographs were taken expressly for this book. No collector, dealer, or appraiser will want to be without it!

Identifying American Cut Glass.......2007-07-26
The book is in great shape and exactly what I was looking for to help e identify different items of cut glass in my store.
Thank you

Identifying American Brilliant Cut Glass- Revised 5th Edition.......2006-03-22
This is a must-have book for ABP cut glass collectors. This revision corrects many errors, mis-identifications from the earlier versions. It has exactly the same photos as the previous versions but the print IDs and captions seem to incorporate most of the corrections listed earlier by ACGA and glass researchers in other publications.
Invaluable reference information.......2005-09-06
Bill and Louise Boggess provide the revised 5th edition of Identifying American Brilliant Cut Glass, updating prices and adding even more photos to this glass history and reference. Take it to auctions and antique shops, or along to garage sales, but also read it for leisure: tips include how to analyze a pattern and match it to a catalog or book picture. Invaluable reference information.
This book needs an index........1999-10-28
I believe this book would be easier to use and more accessible to a reader if it had an index. It does have some good points, but it is not the definitive work on American cut glass.
