The Quotable Canine,
Jim Dratfield and Paul Coughlin (Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing, 81 pages, 1995,
$20)
If you love sepia-toned photographs (and who doesn’t), you
will love this book – the photos fit the quotes simply superbly and some quotes
are quotes that you are familiar with but want to remember.
From Odgen Nash (“A door is what a dog is perpetually on the
wrong side of.”) to Churchill to Shakespeare to Marx (Groucho, that is), from
humorous photos to serious photos, this small coffee table book of brown and
paisley has it all.
I was also thinking these photos might make memorable
postcards, when I decided I had better check to see if the book, published in
1995, is still available – it is – and so is a selection of notecards from the
book. How cool is that
coincidence?
Both authors have gone on to produce other canine
photography collections and, lo and behold, when I went to www.petography.com, I saw a magnet and
note card I just purchased at a local store!
