The Complete Dog Book: A Comprehensive, Practical Care and Training Manual and a Definitive Encyclopedia of World Breeds

This book is over sixty years old now, and I do not recommend it as much more than a potential training manual. While some advice might still hold up, reading this without double-checking information can call for a bad time.

As with I think most people, I looked at this book more for the lovely pictures of dogs than for specific information about dog breeds or the care and feeding of dogs. This is a good enough book for dog lovers, but it doesn't really stand out from the wall; there are many books very much like this which can be found in the bargain book piles of Barnes and Noble, etc.
