Guide to Owning a Maltese: Puppy Care, Grooming, Training, History, Health, Breed Standard

This is a great book if you're looking into different breeds: It's inexpensive, and is a good introductory to the breed. But if you are bringing a Maltese home in a week, you need to get a more complete book that covers the aspects of training, grooming, and puppy care more than this book.
