Notes From The Grooming Table Book Free Download

On 4th March we celebrate World Book Day and we were delighted to work with Melissa Verplank on a guest blog post about the bestselling Notes from the Grooming Table. This month this bestseller has 10% off.
Notes From the Grooming Table has become an industry staple in most grooming salons. My guess is you have at least one copy tucked somewhere in your shop. Others have it right out in the open. The pages are stained, worn, and tattered.
The original Notes was released in 2004. It took three years to create the book. Lisa Vansweden did an amazing job illustrating the entire thing. It was a massive undertaking. There were times I questioned if we would ever complete it. At that time, I was questioning my sanity...
Thanks to all those copies tucked away in grooming salons and on bookshelves around the world, Notes From the Grooming Table became one of the most popular grooming books ever written. I don't question my sanity anymore.
Fast forward 10 years. The AKC was adding recognized breeds at a record pace. New grooming tools were being added to our tool kits. Coat types we had not seen before were walking into everyday pet salons. Styling trends were changing on a number of breeds. I knew it was time to think about updating Notes.
Like everyone else, I had a lot on my plate. When I first created Notes in the early 2000s, I only had one business, The Paragon School of Pet Grooming. Today I oversee four different companies, each with additional sub-companies. It was a lot easier for me to focus solely on writing the book on the first go around. Even then, there was an ongoing joke within my team. They all swore my husband Marc locked me in my home office and threw food under the door. In all honesty, they were not far off - especially in the last 6-8 months. Seven days a week with typical days running between 10-16 hours each.
The art and diagrams as well as the easy to follow directions continue to be the hallmark of the book. Every bit of this book was created in the USA - from conception, to creation, to printing, to distribution.
Designed for the groomer on the go! This handy second edition fits right in your smock or apron pocket. A quick and condensed grooming guide for the most popular breeds from Notes from the Grooming Table. Indispensable outlines and tips for grooming every breed with visuals for each.
