Overall Impression

This book is a Korean republication of a Japanese version printed in 1979.
Well, what can I say, I don't like this book very much... These dogs just don't have the look and feel of the real breeds, they're too stylized for my taste,
and the fact that some of them use cuts and multiple sheets takes out more of the fun.
The layout is very nice, there's a black-and-white photo of the finished model next to a photo of the actual dog breed in the beginning of each model, and color photos of the models are provided at the beginning of the book.
