This book was a gift from a family member because they knew I really like cats a lot. And truth be told, the cover of this tiny book is really gorgeous, and the publisher did a dastardly fine job with the old fashioned fabric binding and overal presentation of the book.

The real problem lies inside. It isn't a real book per se. The pages inside are a series of brief one sentence quotes loosely related to cats by a series of famous writers.

Now, cute quotations are very useful as eye popping chapter openers or some other portion of the decoration of the book. Maybe if this book has been an illustrated children's book where the charm is the artwork, it would still be rather good.

However, despite the great cover, I would personally not reccomend spending money on this book. It's a nice decoration piece for a bookshelf, but the book was a letdown. ( )
