A keepsake miscellany for the dog-minded, set among vintage photographs of the sharp, crop-coated terrier of the hunting field.

The Vintage Dog Scrapbook gathers essays, anecdotes, poems and literary excerpts on dogs and dog owning - the mischief, the devotion, the long fireside years - and prints them among photographs of the Wire Haired Fox Terrier drawn from rare breed volumes in our library. The writing speaks for dogs everywhere; the pictures are the breed's.

Shown alongside its smooth cousin from the 1870s and bred as a separate variety from the early 1900s, the wire was for decades the most fashionable dog in Britain - and the most successful in the ring. These photographs come from that high season.

This edition features:

• Essays, anecdotes, poems and literary excerpts on dogs and dog owning
• Vintage photographs of the breed, taken from rare volumes in our own library
• A gift for the canine-inclined, and for the devotee of one particular terrier
• Short pieces made for dipping into, at any hour of the evening
