5A Masterpiece for every groomers library.  Mar 30, 2006
By Elizabeth Bean "ebean"
Over 40 years of my life has been spent in the grooming industry. As a kid I grew up working after school in my parents pet salon and today I operate PetGroomer.com to help others succeed in grooming. Let me assure you that Notes From the Grooming Table is truly a must for every groomers library. What a reference work! So much added grooming information besides breed styling by AKC breeds makes this a classic reference work. Invest in your career and obtain this book on the how-to side of grooming pets. Worth every penny for the professional groomer.

3Prettier package, same standard advice.  May 25, 2008
By Jack Brander "Temper Kennels"
This was a book I was SO eager to get. It is absoultely ok, but it sure wasn't the masterpiece that I had hoped for. It is pretty with excellent layout and clever spiral binding, but it is just the same advice as you get anywhere.
Still, this is probably one of the first books I'd recommend on the subject to a beginner. But if you are more advanced in the field there will be little new to gain.

5Cliff Notes for Grooming  Oct 04, 2007
By Spikey
This is an amazing book! As an aspiring groomer-in-training who had never laid a hand on a pair of clippers, this book is FANTASTIC!! It has everything from tips on getting the perfect bath to getting out undercoat to how to tell exactly what your clients are asking for, complete with photo references, drawings, and step-by-step instructions. This book is a staple in my groom shop, and it should be in EVERY serious grooming establishment! YOU CAN'T FIND A BETTER GROOMING BOOK THAN NOTES!!!

5Groomer in Training  Sep 21, 2007
By D. Theriot
I am currently training to be a Groomer/Pet Stylist and this is the book my company uses in their grooming academy to train all groomers. It is wonderful. It is very helpful to know that you can turn to any page in this book and find the breed of dog you are looking for. There are also general instructions that apply to many breeds (ex: teddy bear heads, etc). Directions are simple, yet detailed enough for anyone to understand. A must have for groomers and pet stylists!
