This is just a very basic book about cats, 2005-07-11
This is just a generic book about cats, not breed specific, except for the photos. they wrote a cat book template, and just typed in the word "Burmese" as opposed to some other breed, whenever applicable. Don't but it if you already know about cats, and are trying to get info on the Burmese.

Decent Book on the Burmese Breed, 2004-01-24
This book would mostly be of interest to someone who is unfamilar with the burmese breed. It has sound and informative information about burmese and cats in general, but it is definately at the "novice" level. The pictures are better than most (most pet books seem to have terribly unflattering pictures of burmese) and it is laid out well.If you are new to the burmese breed, this book is a good start.

Non-specific Cat Book, 2002-12-17
I bought this book from Amazon in good faith that it was specifically about Burmese cats. It is not! It is a book about cats in general, with the only Burmese-specific selling point being all its pretty pictures. And while the pictures are quite nice, I found they alone were not sufficient in replacing actual knowledge about Burmese cats. I wanted to learn about this particular breed, not just read very general cat facts that can easily be found in any sort of cat book. If you're going to buy this book -- don't! You can find alot more good information about Burmese cats (for free) by conducting internet searches.

Very informative and the best Burmese book I've seen., 1999-11-02
Even if you're a Burmese addict from way back and feel you know all there is to know about this breed this book is still a must for the library at home. The only shock I had was how 'squashed in' some of the faces of the American Burmese were, personally I felt they looked like aliens but each to their own (they don't look like this in New Zealand or Australia). The Blue on the cover has the same features as my little girl so that was the clincher in buying the book. You won't be disappointed in the content and it's such a good price. Well done.
