The Stone Guide to Dog Grooming for All Breeds
Education & Reference Science & Nature Crafts & Hobbies
The Stone Guide to Dog Grooming for All Breeds by Ben and Pearl Stone is the 1981 hardcover classic that professional stylists and dedicated home groomers still reach for. Across 304 oversized, clearly illustrated pages, the Stones break down breed-specific cuts, coat-type techniques, and safety tricks that work whether you’re tidying a Poodle or de-shedding a Malamute.
Judith Tillinger’s detailed line drawings make every clip, comb, and scissor position easy to follow, turning each grooming session into a confidence-building lesson. Collectors value this vintage Turner Publishing edition for its durable binding and retro artwork that captures the era’s show-ring standards.
This copy arrives from a smoke-free home in good, gently-used shape: the pages are crisp and unmarked, while the front endpaper carries a neat previous-owner name in ink. The hefty 1 kg+ reference feels solid in hand and sits flat on the grooming table for quick page checks between blow-dries.
A sought-after illustrated guide for dog lovers, vocational students, and small-business groomers, this inscribed copy offers both practical instruction and shelf presence without the price of a pristine first edition.
