There must be thousands upon thousands of books about cats, with more appearing at frequent intervals. This section of Purr 'n' Fur is designed to give just brief summaries and details of some I have come across over the years that have given me pleasure; some are old, some new. More will be added from time to time, but they will not be in any particular order, alphabetical or chronological. I hope readers may be able to obtain some of them and gain as much pleasure from them as I did. If you'd like to recommend any others to me, please feel free to do so. For obtaining copies of older books, I've found the online service of ABE Books invaluable, almost always finding everything I wanted through them, including some pretty obscure titles; and their service has invariably been efficient, prompt and non-intrusive. Note: Any opinions expressed in this section are entirely my own. |
