Not what it promised to be..., 2007-12-07
This book turned out to mostly be an advertisement for other books in the "Felines by Design" series. It seemed like every other paragraph said something like "it's really important to know this if you want to breed or buy purebred cats, but I'm not going to tell you here. You'll have to buy another book by me." The information it did give was common sense: like be nice to prospective buyers and answer all their questions patiently. Save yourself a couple of bucks and don't buy this book.

no good, 2007-12-04
This book was very dissappointing. The author wasted alot of space complaining about her first experience purchasing purebred kittens. She doesn't point out the fact that she was a totally uneducated buyer. This book is completely useles.

a proven nightmare for readers and cat breeders, 2007-11-15
I was so confused trying to read this book that I put it down after the first chapter. There are paragraphs written in the first person layered between those beginning with "Jasmine says..". The entire book is written this way. The editor and writer have so hatcheted the writing it is hard to take any of the advice contained in it seriously. Very disappointing.

Third Person Jargon: A nightmare to read, 2007-06-27
The books have good information, if you can get glean it from the poorly edited and written volumes. These books jump back and forth, in a disturbing way, between first person "I did this.." and "Jasmine thinks this...". Unfortunately, You cannot tell if the book is: a. written by a professional cat breeder b. ghost written FOR a professional cat breeder or c. written by someone that feels alright about talking about herself in the third person.
If you can get past the poor writing style there is good information. Just be warned, it is not all in ONE volume. You are being led into purchasing a multi-volume set. "Jasmine will address this in the next book on..."

Great Information., 2007-06-24
Jasmine has a way of simplifying the information for the newbies and experienced. I have read it through 2 times already and learned basic info. both times. Cat breeding is not an everyday common venture, it is tough to find people you can trust to help you learn it ethically.
It was helpful with breeding and with marketing. How to place a basic ad to encourage calls and to protect yourself from un-ethical breeders.
I am looking forward to her upcoming books as they will be a great learning and teaching tool to help others also.
Thanks so much.
