quick reference book

Good book, but only offers brief descriptions of the breeds---but that is what I expected in a small "pocket sized" book. I like it.
Quick sidebars provide height, description, history, and suitability for potential owners.

Similar-sounding books usually have large-size formats and coffee table-like hardcover weight: the joy of Horse Breeds of North America is that it offers up an affordable, easy 96-page photo display in pocket size lending to toting. This means you can take it along on a car ride, trip, or anyplace else a horse might show up. Quick sidebars provide height, description, history, and suitability for potential owners. Diane C.
