Book Description
The French Bulldog enjoys a brief romp outdoors, but its minimal exercise needs also makes it a good companion for older pet owners and apartment dwellers. Heavily illustrated with vivid color photos and instructive line art, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals show and inform pet owners regarding proper care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small caged animals—virtually every creature that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, feeding it nutritiously, keeping it in good health, and where applicable, grooming and training it. Each book in this large series is individually written by a specialist, and though the information is authoritative, the text is clear and straightforward, easy for every pet owner to understand.

Great book!.......2005-09-16
This is an excellent resource for anyone considering a french bulldog. (I also recommend it if you just like lots of cute puppy pictures!) It's packed full of everything you need to know about your frenchie, with special attention paid to health and training issues. Please make this book your first step in acquiring a french bulldog. Proper research is key to finding the right dog for you!
Book Description
Adorable! Spelled the same in French and English, this word sums up the petite French Bulldog. Similar in build to the very popular Pug, the French Bulldog is a roly-poly lotta-lovin' dog -- avec un attitude! While still ranked in the middle of the AKC registrations list at #76, the Frenchie is becoming trés popular.

The French Bulldog : An Owner's Guide .......2007-03-26
I only gave this book one star as this book seems geared strictly towards new dog owners. The Frenchie photos are cute, but not much info that I could use.
Comprehensive and easy to follow........2005-05-22
This is a great book for any Frenchie owner. Unlike some books which claim to be breed specific but aren't this book contains lots of information on French Bulldogs. It covers housebreaking, Feeding, Grooming, Health and so much more. There are lots of great photos as well. I got this book shortly before getting my Frenchie, and it was so helpful. It's written in a way that someone new to the breed like me, or someone that is intreseted in a pet rather then a showdog can understand. This is a book written by a true Frenchie lover, for Frenchie lovers and newbies.
WONDERFUL RESOURCE!.......2005-04-07
I have read and reread this book numerous times. I have owned Frenchies for nearly ten years and this is hands down the single best overall basics on the breed. The author presents important information in an engaging, straight forward manner and is a world renowned expert in Frenchies. If you are considering a frenchie or have recently added one to your family, this book will be an invaluable resource.
Great Book For Anyone Considering A French Bulldog.......2005-03-30
I bought this book when we were leaning towards getting a French Bulldog and wanted more in-depth information. The author is a well-respected breeder of Frenchies with many years of experience. She knows what she is talking about first-hand. This is a great book for anyone considering adding a Frenchie to their family. It is full of all the information you need without excessive information that would overwhelm someone trying to decide if this is the right breed for them. Read this book and you will be well prepared for your flat-faced family member on arrival!
Very Helpful Book With Lots Of Accurate Info........2005-03-27
After aquiring my first Frenchie puppy a few months ago, I read this book cover to cover. Now I use it almost daily as a resource--I even quote this book at my vet's office. I would definitely recommend this book to any future Frenchie owner as it has really been a lifesaver for me.
Book Description
With their prominent jowls and furrowed brows, French Bulldogs may look a little like Winston Churchill. But when a Frenchie raises his broad, sweet face for a kiss, you know you've never seen a more appealing sight.
Frenchie lovers will quickly testify to the undying loyalty of this little dog with big bat ears and a most curious expression. With the wisdom of an old soul in his eyes-and his endearing, satisfied snore-this playful and sometimes stubborn little pooch has a big heart and a personality all his own.
A clown always ready for tricks, the French Bulldog laughs with his whole body and is a big part of his human family. Frenchie Kisses captures the spirit of this one-of-a-kind breed.

Recommended for the photos.......2007-08-18
Beautiful photos marred by intrusive gratuitous captions.I gave my copy to my 18 month-old neighbour who loves our dogs and will enjoy both the pictures and the drippy text.Could still be a museum gift shop book, but in the toddler section.
Frenchie Kisses is a '10' for French Bulldog lovers!.......2006-08-19
I saw this book at PetSmart and fell in love with the photographs and captions, and was thrilled to find it on Amazon. Amanda Jones captured the essence of the dogs she photographed very well, and managed to match appropriate celebrity quotes about dogs as well as provide random humorous captions for the featured shots. I have this book on our coffee table, because we enjoy paging through it often. We have a Frenchie and have found these dogs have particularly hilarious personalities - Amanda Jones has done a great job in capturing the heart of French Bulldogs in this book. It's a 'must have' for owners and lovers of this breed.
smiles and kisses.......2006-03-03
A great book for "easy reading" and enjoyable times. Brings a smile to your face without even trying. To know the BRENCHIE BREED is to know this book.
Frenchie Kisses.......2005-07-20
As a Frenchie owner, breeder and show person for more than 30 years, I love the breed. The photos in this book are endearing to any Frenchie fancier.
Perfection.......2005-06-11
I'm a bookseller at Barnes & Noble, and this book has made the rounds among the cashiers, hiding out behind the desk! There's something very Zen about these photographs, about the dogs themselves, and the captions are very funny and endearing. Why am I writing a review for Amazon when I work for Barnes & Noble?? Because this is a beautiful and captivating book, a funny book, and if you're not already a dog lover, this book will make you one. This one made it into my personal collection.

You owe it to your French Bulldog to read this book. Never have I seen so much technical information presented in such an enjoyable, easy to read manner-- and with such delightful illustrations! Read this book before you obtain a French Bulldog, it will educate you extensively as to the issues concerning this breed, and will help the prospective owner know what to look for when searching for a healthy Frenchie. It truly is an owner's manual that no Frenchie owner should be without. Highly recommended!

Not worth it.......2004-04-14
This book is just a generic dog book with a few pages devoted to the French Bulldog. Those few pages have no information that even someone with a casual acquaintence with the breed would not know already.
Save your money!
Dog book in disguise.......2001-10-17
I purchased this book wanting information regarding french bulldogs prior to getting a new pet. After meeting with breeders and reading information from them, this book is in no way adequate in informing potential owners of this rare breed. It also cost me a lot more than $4.99, try Australian $29.00, money not well spent.The book is mostly regarding dog care which can be obtained in vast quantities from other sources.

Very little french bulldog content.......2000-06-29
This book has a few pages on French bulldogs and then is filled with generic dog information...some of which is actually incorrect for Frechies. Save the money...this book isn't worth it.
More Frenchies, s'il vous plait.......2000-04-26
I was disappointed in this book when finding out that only about the first 1/4 actually contained info specific to French bulldogs; the rest was just generic dog info and worse yet, seemed to be a 'plug' for a brand of dog chew toys. It reeked of being a "dog book" template -- switching out the breed info on a few pages, adding a new cover, some photos, and voila! The reinforced binding may be sturdy, but it makes it very hard to hold or keep open. Best aspects were some adorable Frenchie photos, but even those were outnumbered by cartoonish drawings and photos of other breeds! Sacre bleu!

Comprehensive and Authentic.......2001-07-16
Oppi's thoroughness and attention to the detail in this book is amazing. Pictures and illustrations are just magnificent. Oppi covers the jewelry of maharajas to jewelry of tribal people. The jewelry descriptions in this book include every region and every style there is in India. I bought this book when I was asked to talk about India's jewelry at an art museum. This book definitely improved my knowledge about the subject.
Traditional Jewelry of India.......2000-08-04
Oppi's book is magnificent. It is a culmination of over thirty years of Oppi's research. His book covers more than just Indian jewelry, but forehead marks and henna mendhi.
Inspired by trips to New York's museums when he was young, Oppi crafts a anthropological journey through a fascinating history of human ornamentation, beginning with wood ash and mud. Oppi traveled extensively to personally research his subject in association with scholarships he won, including a Fulbright scholarship and funding from John D Rockefeller III.
He shows the use of natural items in jewelry, such as leaves, flowers, seeds, vines and wood. Unusual jewelry materials like anteater claws are pictured. Of course, gemstones and precious metals are included. There are photos of elegant gold filigree and fist-sized gemstones.
My favorite part of the book is called "Typology from Head to Toe" in which Oppi takes you on a journey in pictures of people wearing ornaments in their hair to those worn on the toes. The book includes an extensive index and bibliography. It is a very human book, showing how ornaments are worn by people, not just showing photos of the ornaments alone as many other ethnic jewelry books do.
Although you might think the subject of Indian jewelry is narrow before you see the book, a glance through the book will make you want to own it even though the sticker price is high.
Oppi Untracht provides a wealth of knowledge about India/Pak.......1999-02-19
An excellent and well researched study with extraordinary photographs by a well known scholar of Indian art. 430 interesting pages that are very well presented to the reader. You'll find possibly more detail than you may need, but you can return later for the items you missed.
Product Description
... Most books record collections of kings, queens, emperors and royalty. Jewellery to them was an evidence of a luxurious, extravagant, self-indulgent way of life.
Magnificent designs, extraordinary craftsmanship, intricate traditional workmanship characterize Indian Jewellery. The books on jewellery are therefore a treasure, a connoisseurs delight. Despite the presence of such a vast number of books on jewllery, we decided to publish One More.
We think that this is the first one of its kind book on jewellery. We are even tempted to call this a Unique Publication. Unique in the sense, that this book records collections of working middle class and upper middle class Indians.
No book on jewellery has ever published a collection patronized by the common Indian masses. This is where the contribution and the legacy of Shri Dalpat Bhai Zaveri stands out as extraordinary.
In a country like India jewellery is the most important possession for a middle class woman, her personal jewellery remains her only property. Her jewellery is her security, a possession she can encash within minutes of a dire need. Even the humblest woman in India who can afford nothing clings to her ornaments in gold or silver.
No wonder ornaments are considered Stri Dhan and a bride must have a Mangalsutra made of gold. This aspect of jewellery associated with common people of India is relevant to all people regardless of religion, sect, caste or creed. A matter of lesser importance is the role jewellery plays in raising a womans beauty and charm.
The inspiration for such a book came from Virendra Zaveri who is the proud inheritor of his families hundred years of tradition. The collections of this book are result of his families dedication to creativity & quality of craftsmanship par excellence.
The lovers of Indian jewellery will surely appreciate this treasure, never seen before. The future historians will see this collection with a great deal of curiosity, intrigue & awe.
