Customer Reviews

Breath taking!

This is the first time I have been inspired to post a review. Deborah's photographs are some the most beautiful blank and white photos I have ever seen. My first thought when I started looking at her book was that I would love to have her take portraits of my dogs. Her work is inspiring and will break your heart. And, as a dog lover, I loved her subjects and the delightful way she choose to portray them. This -- and her book "Dog" -- is an absolute must for any artist, photographer or dog lover.

A real find

I bought this book after a friend of mine told me it was her favorite book this year. I was totally bowled over by the sheer poetry and beauty of this book. You can see that this photographer truly loves dogs, it shines through the photos and that is one of the reasons I think this book is so powerful. I am definately going to buy DOG and I can only hope that she publishes more as I feel that these books will become classics.

A Photography Gem

I bought this book for a friend who is a real dog lover. She and her husband loved it so much that I went out and purchased several other copies . It is incredible value and much appreciated as a gift instead of the usual bottle of wine when visiting friends for dinner.

Sweet

PUP, the follow up to Deborah Samuel's DOG, is positivley adorable, but not quite as good as it's predessesor. The book is smaller, both in dimensions and in number of photos. Also, unlike DOG, there are none of Ms. Samuel's charming studio notes. Some the photographs aren't as appealing as others, but who can resist so many puppies? This makes a good coffeetable book, but if you haven't picked up DOG, I recommend getting that one instead. Bottom line: It's charming and sweet, but not as good as DOG.
