Title: The Basset Hound Owner's Survival Guide
Author: Diane Morgan
Format: Hardcover, no dustjacket as issued, 212 pages
Illustrations: 8-page color photo insert, black and white photos and drawings
Size: 9 3/4" X 6 1/2"
Publisher: Howell Book House, NY, 1998
ISBN: 087605186
In Very Good used condition with light rubbing on the extremities, pages crisp and unmarked.
A must-have for Basset lovers, whether they already have one (or more), or are considering being owned by one (or more). Diane Morgan doesn't sugar-coat, she tells it like it is.
For example, in the preface, after quoting Shakespeare,
"My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind
So flewed, so sanded, and their heads are hung
With ears that sweep away the morning dew;
Crook-kneed and dewlapped like Thessalian bulls;
Slow in pursuit, but matched in mouth like bells..."
Ms. Morgan follows up with, "...the exquisite beauty and nobility of the Basset, the tender solemnity of the soulful eyes, the exquisitely sculptured head, the noble expression, and the thick globs of drool gleaming on the kitchen floor".
Filled with charming stories, photos and drawings of Bassets, this book also provides the reader with Basset care essentials and a history of the breed.
