Review By: Christie Keith, 2005-08-03

It took me a long time to read this book, even though it came highly recommended by a number of friends. In fact, it took me so long it’s out of print, although I had no trouble getting a copy through the CatHobbyist.com bookstore. I’m sorry I waited so long, because it truly is the best cat breed book I’ve ever read. I won’t say “you’ll love it even if you don’t like Maine Coon cats,” because you won’t. This book is the story of the Maine Coon cat and it doesn’t try to be all things to all people about all cats. Still, this uniquely American kitty has a fascinating story, and Hornidge’s book does it full justice. Highly recommended.
Reader Reviews from Amazon.com:
The other Maine Coon Cat book

This was a very informative book about the history and caring for a Maine Coom cat. This is one of three books that I ordered on the subject. I now feel that I am ready to obtain one of these beautiful animals.
A Book Worth Having (if you have a Maine Coone!)

A lot of ueful and interesting information in a compact book. A pity that more of the photographs were not in colour rather than B & W.
That Yankee Cat:: The Maine Coon

We recently purchased a Maine Coon kitten and found this book to be very informative. It has given us not only information for the care of our kitten, but gave us background info and info on what to expect as our kitten grows. I highly recommend this book to anyone who owns or is considering getting a Maine Coon.
Excellent book-excellent cats

This book was very informative for Maine Coon owners and lovers. The history and background of this breed was informative and impressive in detail. Maine Coon owners will learn a lot and give them more to admire in their very special cats. A winner of a book.
Miss the mark

I bought this book due to the great reviews given by readers, but I cannot see what they are so excited about (Maybe they were the author's friends). The photographs are really poor (blurred, poorly lit) and only a few are in colour. I would have expected at least a clear description (with images) of the different colours Maine Coons available, but again here were only written descriptions. The text runs on an on with no apparent point to make. This was clearly written for purple haired ladies who attend cat shows and go on and on about standards, not a cat enthusiast who would like to learn and appreciate a specific breed.
