I bought this as a gift. I looked at it when it arrived and was surprised at the detail in the book. I could easily get lost in this book and had to remind myself it was a gift for someone else. Its a great book to keep on your coffe table. If you love wolves you need to add this to your collection.
Quite a Nice Book!

It doesn't delve into the world of the wolf, presenting many facts and details. Instead, it dabbles in everything wolf-related. There are photos, artworks, and exerpts from many different places. It's enjoyable to read and look through. Because I'm an avid fan of wolves, there was nothing really new for me in it. However, people who are intrigued by wolves, but don't know much about these creatures, will probably find this book a wonderful way to start.
