If you buy only 1 Yorkie book, get this one!.......2004-01-13
I doubt any breed has as thorough a book on it as does this book for Yorkshire Terriers. This is a complete book resplendant with photographs and information.
Perhaps the only thing not discussed is how to make a profit with Yorkies. I suspect nobody makes a financial profit with these guys, because if they're all like our Buddy, you just could not part with even a single pup!
My wife and I, and those of us at LJ's Breaking Free$ could not be pleased more than we are with this book - Bill Anderson (LJ).

Book Description
The story of Little Big Dog
The history of the Yorkshire Terrier is truly a rags to riches saga. Originally bred as a ratter, the earliest Yorkies were considerably larger than the glamorous little dogs we are familiar with today, but they were working terriers that provided both sanitation and sport for the Scottish weavers who bred them in England's industrial north. Now a world authority on the breed traces her favorite from its humble beginnings to its emergence as the canine epitome of style. In fourteen chapters, the whole story of the Yorkshire is charmingly told. Chapters on origin, history and standard join discussions of puppies, rearing, showing and breeding. Of particular excellence is the chapter on grooming, so essential to the health and beauty of the Yorkie.

Today's Yorkie, Not Just A Pretty Face.......2000-11-30
Ms. Sameja-Hilliard has captured the versatility of the yorkshire terrier. The book covers everything from your new puppy, to showing and training your yorkie in conformation, obedience, and performance events. History of the yorkie, complete with many photos of the early yorkshire terrier, shows how this breed has evolved. The breed standard is also covered, as well as grooming and health issues. Although this is a Britsh author, American yorkie breeder/judge Betty Dullinger also discusses the American yorkies today in the final chapter. A good book for any yorkie enthusiast. Easy reading, nice layout, and lots of pictures to correlate with the text.
Customer Reviews:
Not very helpful and too verbose for a beginner.......2006-10-19
The title is self explanatory. This book will not be too helpful to a beginner as it explains everything with very little graphics and it is difficult to visualise aspects such as the grooming of the dog. I thought the toilet training bit was lacking as well and served more as a sweeping generalisation of known information than anything that would be truly helpful to a novice.
On the plus side, the writing is pleasantly light, although this does not make up for the lack of illustrations and depth.
Customer Reviews:
Great book. A must -have for any new Yorky Owners.......1999-03-13
Being a first time "mommy" to our new Yorky pup this book really puts us in touch with her traits, actions, and personality.

bookreader.......2007-07-10
As a librarian for an elementary school I'm always looking for books that my students will enjoy. Stories about dogs are usually a hit. OK, the ending is a little predictable but it is a children's book and the ending is a happy one. I would recommend it to some strong second grade readers, my third graders and even some of my students in fourth. It all depends on the student. It's a good story and words like "geek" are still being used so it isn't as dated as you would think.

Book Description
Still the best, broadest, and most complete introduction to the colorful, lustrously glazed, exuberantly decorated 19th-century ceramic art called majolica, this classic book, first published in 1989, is now fully updated. A brand-new chapter includes the latest information and 27 added color photographs of recently discovered pieces; 18 fresh color illustrations replace older black and whites; and an updated bibliography and list of museums with majolica collections make this book invaluable for the ever-growing number of majolica enthusiasts. The result, as Cape Cod Antiques & Arts said of the original edition, is "a serious reference for serious connoisseurs . . . It's wonderful."
Customer Reviews:
Great resource for collectors and modern majolica-artists........1999-10-15

One of the definitive books on Victorian Majolica.......1999-09-01
People all over the world treat this as the "Bible" of Victorian Majolica. It is the best.
Book Description
Over 500 beautiful color photos and a value guide to reflect the latest trends. Loaded with information, this book is recommended for all collectors of this whimsical Victorian pottery. 2004 values. AUTHORBIO: Mariann Katz-Marks lives with her husband and their three children in rural Pennsylvania . For years she pursued a career selling English and American Majolica through an at-home mail order business and numerous antique shows. Her fascination with this colorful Victorian ware began when she purchased a box lot of three Majolica plates at a country auction. She holds a bachelor's degree in Psychology and completed graduate work in Sociology, Anthropology, and Clothing and Textiles. REVIEW: This book is a tribute to the innovative and creative potters who produced Majolica pottery during the nineteenth century. It's a book devoted to the wonderful world where cauliflowers turn into teapots, fans become ice cream dishes, pickles are served from begonia leaves, and sugar is spooned from a pineapple. This bright and whimsical Victorian pottery is showcased in beautiful color photographs.

The Collector's Encyclopedia of Majolica.......2000-04-26
I am new to the wonderful world of Majolica. I was looking for some reference books to help me purchase quality pieces of Majolica on ebay without paying more than I should. I found The Collector's Encyclopedia of Majolica a good reference because of the approx. 180 pages of colorful pictures illustrating the various types of Majolica pottery available. This book includes a value guide for the pieces pictured in it with a few pages of general information. I gave it 3 stars because it is helpful in pricing certain items but does not give you alot of details about the history of the many companies that produced Majolica.
Book Description
Beautiful color photographs of hundreds of Majolica ceramics from the Victorian age and more historical research contiue in this new study. The book traces majolica's roots and lists the manufacturers and their marks. Over 300 color photographs, taken in America and Britain, illustrate the high craftsmanship of majolica's nineteenth century potters. Artistic influences on majolica's designs are reviewed along with the evolving majolica markets England, America, Europe, and Canada. Specialty tablewares, decorative pieces, titles, and the controversial greenwares all are included. The price guide is a valuable tool.
