This is a very good quality book with lots of helpful information. It could have had a few more illustrations to help with the grooming process, but is very helpful overall.

The Stone Guide, 2007-12-26
This is a good guide for traditional cuts. It gives enough information to get the haircut done. Some of the info is a little outdated, but overall it's one of the books I've used as my "bible". It's definitely a book that should be in every groomer's library.

NOT TO INFORMATIVE, 2006-10-13
NICE BOOK IF YOU ONLY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO BATHE, TRIM EARS OR CLIP NAILS. DOESNT TELL YOU WHAT SIZE ATTACHMENTS TO USE OR WHAT PART OF THE BODY TO USE THE DIFFERENT ATTACHMENTS.ITS BETTER IF YOU HAVE A POODLE, MORE PAGES DEVOTED TO IT. ONLY ONE PER OTHER DOG!

good for groomers not Kennel Clippers, 2006-03-24
IF you need a book to learn how to start Kennel clipping, do not buy this one.
IF you want to be a groomer in a city and work in someone else's shop then go for it.
I do strip clips and summer clips so this book was not very helpful to me in that area.
