Summary

“In more than 35 years of intense experience with dogs, and more than 20 years of that as a veterinarian, I have never met another domesticated dog that behaves like a Neapolitan Mastiff,” writes Dr. Sherilyn Allen, as she begins her detailed analysis of this most unique breed of dog. 
Long out of print, The Official Book of the Neapolitan Mastiff is considered the most expansive and authoritative English-language book about this magnificent Italian breed, discussing its history, conformation, temperament, rearing and more — all illustrated with more than 400 photographs of great Neos from around the world. This reissued and revised volume contains all that original material, plus a special foreword by the author and a new chapter discussing the evolution of the breed in the two decades since this book was first published. A must for any owner, breeder or admirer of this ancient, awe-inspiring breed. 
Praise for The Official Book of the Neapolitan Mastiff: 
“You want to understand the Mastino Napoletano? The story behind this ancient breed? Its charisma and myth as much as its conformation, health and keeping? Then Sherilyn Allen’s exquisite book is an absolute must-read for any Mastinaro, as nothing more educational has ever been written about the Neapolitan Mastiff. It will open the doors for readers to all that has been previously published in the Mastino’s native land.” 
— Christofer Habig, FCI judge, author and Mastino breed specialist 
  
“I am very pleased that Dr. Sherilyn Allen’s important book is being republished, and I hope it will be read by many new Mastinari. It gave me the opportunity to remember just how much Sherilyn has done for the Mastino, and not just in the United States.” 
— Giuseppe Alessandra, FCI judge, author, ATIMANA president and Mastino breed specialist 
  
“As the author so perfectly describes, the Neapolitan Mastiff is not only a work of art but a breed still living its ancient history. It is incumbent upon those of us who love our Neos to understand them and to protect their heritage and their future. Dr. Allen’s words should be heeded by every owner. As she once said to me, ‘More Sparta and less Athens.’ It works!” 
— Neo fancier Susie Schramm, West Virginia

Whether you're sailing in a stately cruise liner or running for a grimy commuter train, your mode of transport affects the way you look at the things around you.

    The poems in this anthology look at the ways in which travelling can change us, whether we enjoy or endure it. They take in not only day-trippers and business travellers, but characters who are forced to voyage against their will, as well as those with no choice but to stay put.

    This nineteenth-century American cookbook is a comprehensive guide to traditional American cooking by one of the era’s more prolific food writers. 
     
    Originally published in 1857, Miss Leslie’s New Cookery Book set a new standard in American cookbook publishing. This comprehensive recipe collection of over 650 pages with 1,000 recipes contains dishes ranging from American fried chicken and southern veal stew to continental favorites like Italian pork and West Indian fried bananas. Every recipe was tested by the author, and all were original to the book. Leslie was a marvelous food writer whose strongly stated opinions about cooking techniques and ingredients provided sensible advice to American cooks who had long suffered from the poor directions in continental cookbooks and from the differences in European kitchens and utensils. Her publisher proclaimed this “the most complete Cook Book in the world.”  
     
    This edition of Miss Leslie’s New Cookery Book was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts, founded in 1812.

    Nearly one hundred nativities from all over the world—most of which  have never before appeared in any book—are collected here. Artisans from  locales as diverse as the Czech Republic, Guyana, Burkina Faso, and  Bangladesh are represented. There are nativities made with materials  ranging from hand-carved wood, blown glass, and wool, to more unique  materials such as salt dough, dried maguey cactus, and recycled bicycle  parts. The artistry, ingenuity, and diversity of these creations are  greatly prized by thousands of nativity collectors worldwide, many of  whom have graciously allowed pieces from their own collections to be  photographed for this book.
