MEDDO Posted November 15, 2018 #2 Posted November 15, 2018 I absolutely love these two books. The second one is just as good if not better than the first one. And I really hope that they continue on for the fourth fifth and six rates (which is my particular interest).

dvm27 Posted November 21, 2018 #4 Posted November 21, 2018 This is a fabulous book with impeccible writing and gorgeous photographs. It looks like a coffee table book but is so much more. I have texted Grant expressing our appreciation for his work and I know he himself is very pleased with the production of this volume.
