3Bordering on useless  Jan 12, 2004
By Katherine L Bryant
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.

5Outstanding!!  Jul 31, 1999

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.

5Grooming Service Coordinator for a major pet company  Feb 07, 2000
By paul & bobbi marvin
I have used this book for many many years and rely heavily upon it for all of our groomers. The information is precise and the drawings are accurate. Kohl and Goldstein's book should be in the hands of ANY groomer wanting to advance their all-breed grooming skills. It should NEVER be 4-6 weeks out of print.

1A Useless Book for me  Feb 22, 2003

I am mainly interested in learning to groom and particularly interested in learning about clippers. This 416 page book has only 30 pages of general grooming information and it is superficial. It has less than 3 pages on clippers which was also superficial. If you already know how to groom and want information on specific breeds this book might be useful. For me it is totally useless.

3illustrations  Mar 03, 2005
By Mink M. Mandir "minK"
this book has every breed that you'd ever come across at work. BUT... We don't like the short grooming discriptions and especially the pictures/illustrations. Don't get me wrong, Lynn Miller is a great artist. Our fellow employees have agreed that we'd much rather see a photogragh or better yet, a before and after photo of some more difficult breeds.
