The Cat's Pajamas: 101 of the World's Cutest Cats

I was looking for a gift for a fellow cat shelter volunteer and for a neighbor with whom I trade pet-sitting duties (in other words: major cat lovers). I despise cornball, overly sappy kitty photos of any kind. I am also a photography buff (former professional shooter). I love this book. Yeah, the cats ARE really beautiful and interesting, but the photography is what grabbed me. The use of a limited palette in each setup really works. I ended up buying 7 copies of this book - I'll be keeping one. I gave one away today as an early xmas gift and the recipient was knocked out, she loved it. I wonder if it had a better title - without the words "cutest" or "pajamas" - if it would attract more people like me who want something a little more sophisticated than what you find in a typical cat calendar. Another reviewer compared this book to Anne Geddes books, which didn't make much sense to me, as they are different in every way. Aesthetically speaking - this book has better photography.

The edges were ripped upon arrival and there was also some brown-looking discoloration that I had to wipe off with an antibacterial wipe. It’s said it would be a new book, but it was clearly used.

This book contains some absolutely adorable photographs, which is the exact reason why I bought it for my daughter. It contains basic information about cat breeds as well, but it's really all about the pictures.My problem with this book was that it was advertised by Amazon Fulfillment as "new". However, when I received the book, the dust jacket had lots of wear and tear on it, and it looks like someone had been using it as a hard surface to write on, because there are indentations and scuff marks all over it. It looks like a used book, and is in "good" condition at best. If this had been a gift for someone other than a child (who likely won't notice such things), I would have sent it back.

7 year old granddaughters love this book. They just look and laugh at the sweet cat photos.

What’s not to love in a book about cats? It’s a beautiful book for your coffee table & so nice to leaf through on a rainy day.

This wonderful book arrived in good shape, exactly as promised. The photos of 101 cats are fabulous---a terrific photographer. It was so entertaining, I couldn't put it down till I had gone all through it. So I have ordered another to give as a gift.

I bought this as a gift without knowing that it came with a black mark on the top. If you buy the one that Amazon fulfills it shouldn't be a problem. I saved several dollars by using a marketplace bookseller but lost out because of the ugly black mark - no indication in the seller's description; it just said NEW. Hopefully my niece will be so busy looking at the cute pictures that she won't mind the mark.

This book is really a "coffee table" book. It is just beautiful. Thank you for the speedy service
