Some more unofficial book reviews have come in. I am well aware that these are mildly biased reviews, but all reviews are fun so I thought that I would share opinions of some of the people who have bought some of the early copies of the books. And just so people know, I asked permission to share all of the following pieces of feedback on the blog.
The following words are from my on-line friend Karen who I met though dog photography groups on Flickr.
And this review is from the owner of Bruno’s litter mate Sawyer…
“I loved it! It was so fun to read the conversations and see how well they related to each photo. I got to know the personalities of Agnes and Eva. Bruno is a lot like Sawyer. LOL … Such great Photography. It’s a great coffee table book and really fun to look at with children and let them come up with their own story … it’s a great book for all ages. You have a great sense of humour, and imagination for the dialogue between these adorable dogs”
This review is from Rob, my high school buddy and comic book artist from Toronto…
When I told my friend Brent that the book was published and available at McNally Robinson he went to check it out,. He bought one copy that day then went back to buy more for some of his friends and family. His emailed comments are as follows:
“Thanks so much for letting me know about the book. I bought one at McNally yesterday and Sue and I spent a very pleasant evening going through it. I’ll give you my one word review. IT’S EFFING BRILLIANT!!! Hmm, I guess that’s more of a phrase isn’t it.
I was well aware of your impressive skills as a photographer and the book certainly doesn’t disappoint on that front but I didn’t know what a terrific writer you are. I should have known though, having always enjoyed your quick wit and sense of humour.
Congrats Dave. A grand work of art to be very proud of.”
The last for this set of somewhat less biased book reviews is from my friend Tina. This was her initial review:
And when I asked if I could use her words on a blog post she decided to go with something more creative. Following which is my response showing why I needed a good book editor.
