This review is from: The all breed dog grooming guide (Plastic Comb)
This book is supposedly a reference for professional dog groomers. As one, I find it disappointing. The illustration quality is variable, and on one particular clip (the miniature schnauzer, I believe) there is a serious error in the clipping guidelines. Not enough angles of the dog pictures are shown for you to be able to discern the clipping pattern. Also, most dog groomers use modified forms of the show cuts on their customers’ dogs. This book fails to describe or even mention these alternative clipping styles, which I think are not only invaluable to dog groomers but to laypersons as well who choose to groom at home.

Step-by-step illustrated instructions for bathing, trimming, scissoring and grooming more that 136 breeds. The Spiral binding allows it to lie flat on the table. A must have for every dog owner or groomer-wannabe.
