 Pretty picture book May 27, 2007
This is a pretty coffee table type book. This would make a nice present for someone who loves Arabians. Johnny Johnston is a very famous equine photographer. Beautiful color photos of horses in different poses.

 The Greatest Photographer of Arabian Horses. Mar 18, 2007
Back in the 1970's I had the pleasure to see Johnny Johnston's photo demonstration at the Kenntucky Arabian Horse Fair. And I was excited to buy this book, by Johnny Johnston himself. It was exciting to see the great and famous Arabian horses he has photographed. I will treasure it as a picture-photo book for my Arabian horse library. Where I found fault with this book is it's lack of substance. Of course, Johnston couldn't feature all of the famous Arabians he has photographed in his career to date. Maybe I was expecting too much when I thought there might be some photography instruction in this book. Anyway, it is a beautiful book.

 Nice but disappointing Jun 04, 2006
I was expecting photos of the old greats...Muscat,Bask,Huckleberry Bey etc, also more body shots of the horses. When I saw Padron on the cover I thought "wow, I can finally find a book with some pictures of Padron in it"....not!
It is a really nice book with excellent photography of horses but not the horses I expected.
Also I agree with a previous rating that the book is too thin and could have been of more substance. Not a great tribute to such a great photographer.....too bad.
Capturing the spirit of these amazing animals Sep 24, 2005
When I was a girl, I had the privilege of having Johnny Johnston take my photo as I received an award at an Arabian show. It was the best photo of my horse and I that anyone had ever taken. When I look at it now, I still think how amazing it is to have this moment frozen in time. The book is filled with personal moments like that as well as representations of the moods and talents Arabian horses are capable of, whether at rest in the pasture or in their racing colors with a jockey aboard. This book is worth every penny you spend if you are lucky enough to find a copy.

Not a great value for the price. Sep 11, 2005
This purchase was a disappointment. It is not what one would call a true "coffee table" book, judging by the contents, the number of pages, or the over-all quality. Several of the reproductions are grainy or seem to have been included more for their landscape interest than the horses that happen to be in view. It is unpaginated and there are only 75 numbered photos. Anyone who has subscribed to one of the Arabian horse magazines for any length of time in the past has already seen the best of Johnny Johnston's horse portraiture. It took less than 30 minutes to read this thin volume and to look at each picture. There is mention on the last page of a second volume to follow. Too bad they didn't double the size of this one to start with to make it more worthwhile. I'll spend my money on carrots for the horses instead of buying the "next" book.
