Book Description
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Book Description
Strachey's purpose, as given in his introduction, is to provide "no little entertainment for all who love dogs", and in this he surely succeeds.There are unusual and compelling tales of thoughtful and coherent dogs, dogs who pass judgment, hospital dogs, package-carrying dogs, and purchasing dogs - that is, dogs which "understand the first principles of the science of exchange". We learn of dogs with an actual sense of humor, of dogs who befriend hens, rabbits, and pigeons, dogs that foretell death, and dogs that recognize themselves in the mirror. By the time we get to the end of the book we may agree with Strachey that "a single story of a clever dog may amuse, but... if we have half a dozen illustrating the same form of intelligence, the value of the evidence is enormously increased".An added pleasure of the book is, of course, its age. This was a time when the correspondence columns of a general interest magazine were filled with letters written in formal, elegant, crafted prose. The sense of a forgotten time of good manners and civility could not be better expressed than in the strange and delightful Dog Stories from The Spectator.(cover image courtesy of Jason Antony)
