Summary: Wonderful illustrations
Comment: This book is full of wonderful illustrations, quick history and quick scientific overviews. It is LONG on liberal politics (the author is a left coast journalist).
I recommend this book to Democrats and independent liberals. Conservatives will find it intrusively annoying.
As for recommending it to giraffe fans, as I am, it's not worth the purchase, but then, there is precious little available in print for giraffe fans.

Summary: This book is a hoot!
Comment: As a Clinical Massage Therapist (for both humans and non), and the only captive/agressive (animal) TTouch practitioner in my state, I do a lot of volunteer work at my local Zoological park. I'm never quite sure what I'll be working on when I go out, so I like to pick up info on various animals when I can and just read ahead. When I placed my order, I was looking for a little more scientific data, but even without the clinical research I was most pleased with what showed up at my door!
Ms. Sherr's sincere passion for the creature is evident on every page, and the book itself is simply a pleasure to hold and read. It has a nicely designed slick cover and the binding is top-notch. This book will last for ages if taken care of, but as appealing as the images have been to my daugher, I have to keep a close eye on it.
There are interesting facts, and some fiction is dispelled. There's tons of history and beautiful pix on every page.
No, the book is not the end-all be-all of information, but it is well worth the price, and there are even a few used ones for sale above (though not mine. . . you can't have it. . . just back awaaaaay from the book.)
I highly recommend this book for anyone with a passing interest or even a non-veterinary passion for the animal!

Summary: Big Disappointment
Comment: I was looking for a scientific book about giraffes and at the time this was all I could find so I purchased it. The book contains wonderful pictures otherwise I would give it zero stars. The book has almost no scientific information and is filled with a lot of irrelevant and dull quotes about giraffes (made by historical figures) , along with other cutesy stuff. AND I still have not found a current scientific/field study type book about giraffes!! This book might be good to read to the kids.
