My daughter has checked out several Lhasa Apso books from the library, and this is her favorite. I'm on line to buy it for her. The illustrations are excellent on the Lhasa, including digestive system, internal organs, and outer coat.; not to mention the many numerous lhasa apso illustrations and photos throughout the book. I don't know how much is generic, but the preface and considerations are Lhasa specific. Also the numerous photos with descriptions set it apart from the other paper back books on the LA. My daughter shows her Lhasa Apso in 4-H, and finds this book helpful.
