Maggie's Way - a wonderful book

Maggie's Way is a wonderful book in many ways. It is a beautifully produced book with the most fantastic photographs. The captions can be witty, funny or sad and many other things. For basset hound lovers it is a "must have". For those who love beautiful photography, it is also a "must have".

A Beauty of a Basset Book!

The Basset Hound is a unique breed. They are kind, intelligent, slow, comedic, clumsy and very human. Maggie's Way captures the languid, lazy yet quite intelligent world of a Basset Hound. Being a Basset owner myself, and being completely besotted with this lovely, sweet and loyal creature - Maggie's world celebrates the life my dog leads, in beautiful angles, thought provoking captions and humourous interludes - so common in the Basset's nature. We've seen Wegman's photographic work with his dogs - Stanton now puts the Basset in view - as an object of beauty and delight. Lovely book!

WOW!

As the current owner of two basset hounds and someone who has shared her life with a total of five bassets so far, I feel Bill Stanton has really captured the true nature of a basset! The photos are delightful and imaginative and the captions really sum up what a basset hound is thinking (if they actually do take the time and energy to think)! This is not your basic "coffee-table" book; it's meant to be enjoyed many times! I'm ordering a second copy for my parents who are basset lovers by proxy.

Maggie is an absolute CHARMER!

This book is the BEST! I loved every photograph and quote/caption on every page. I was in hysterics over the whimsical expressions that were captured so artistically on camera and the clever combination with famous quotes (even Maggie's!). I am recommending this book to everyone I see....and I've never known a Basset Hound! It makes me want to meet Maggie and others for sure! Perfect gift idea for all ages! CONGRATULATIONS to Bill Stanton on a most enjoyable book.

Hounds Abound!

As a lover and owner of 2 Basset Hounds, I found this book to be a delightful look at the life of this unique, expressive and extremely entertaining breed. The book is a photographic essay of Maggie's life with her "thoughts" on daily living. One would find it hard not to be amused by some of her outlandish escapades. The photographs capture Maggie's personality and give the reader a glimpse into the world of Basset Hounds.BASSET HOUNDS RULE!!!!
