We are grateful to our Consultants who have assisted us by providing their thoughts on various aspects of the standard which will be incorporated into the text. In order to ensure the comments reflect as wide a range of thought as possible these Consultants have come from across the World and all have considerable experience in the Breed. Our thanks to those who have acted as Consultants but also to those many others who have contributed with their views. A full list of our Consultants appears at the bottom of this page |

CONTENTS The CISPAP draws together and compares and explains the four Standards of the Breed currently is use around the World (the American, Australian, U.K. and FCI Standards; the Canadian one is commented on where it differs in content from the American Standard) with the use of text, illustrations and photos of real dogs showing both virtues and faults. It consists of 168 pages in A4 size and contains 560 drawings and over 550 photos. The vast majority of these are to illustrate the huge text section. Of the 168 pages, 29 are Sponsors advertising pages, there is an introduction - the rest is text. Most of the photos have been taken specially for the CISPAP, even those that have not have, for the most part, not been seen before or not widely seen. The emphasis is on the contemporary Papillon and Phalene and there are very, very few photos of older dogs - most are contemporary. Over 60 people, from all over the world, helped us with photos, and we are most grateful for everybody's assistance.
The sections,
describing and discussing points of the Standards in details, are headed
by Deirdre's "adapted engravings", familiar from the Millennium
Books. These are old engravings to which she has added a Papillon or
Phalene, then coloured.
The book is the
equivalent of around 350 A5 pages, i.e. size of the Club Handbook.
The CISPAP starts
with 8 measured drawings representing the Papillon and Phalene as
described by the Am., Aust., UK and FCI Standards. The Standards are
printed in full, then again in sections as we go through the points of
the Standards and discuss/compare them. We start with Head properties
and continue, in very considerable detail, to include Neck and
Shoulders, Toplines, Fronts, Movement front, side and rear, Tail set and
carriage, Feet, Coat, Markings, Colour, etc. There are some 250
drawings devoted to head properties alone, plus accompanying
photographs, this gives some idea of the depth and scale of the CISPAP.
The text sections end with one on Age and the Standard and another on
Photography and the Standard, followed by four pages of our Sponsors'
Choices for their best/favourite contemporary Papillon/Phalene.
The covers are on
350 gm board, gloss laminated, and the pages for the book are 170 gm
silk. This is very thick, high quality paper and we could never have
used it for our A5 Mill Books - the number of pages required simply
would not have gone through the binding machines. There are 4 "onion
skin" separators with a design of three Papillons and one Phalene, and
the "And So To Bed..." endplate is, this time, a separate "onion skin".
The onion skins are printed in the "house" colour for this book, which
is burgundy.
For the first
time, the inside covers are printed, in colour. We have printed
Papillon and a Phalene puppy line drawings on the inside cover, to show
the points of the dog, and below them the skeleton of the Papillon,
indicating the bone structure. On the back inside cover we have
included brief biographies of ourselves.
There are two
long bookmarks, one featuring the Papillon and the other the Phalene.
Both are in full colour with silk tails and are printed both sides, with
different images. It may be possible to buy additional bookmarks.
The slipcover
features a design in burgundy of a Papillon and Phalene; the boxes will
be hand assembled and we should get the first ones on Wednesday 2nd.
The CISPAP is published in a Limited Edition of 1500, of which 400 have already been sold or otherwise accounted for. Price £35.00 plus postage and packing. Prepaid orders, books for Sponsors, Subscribers to the CE and Consultants, will be sent out asap after publication
THE
COLLECTOR'S EDITION
There are only 50
of these, of which there are only 12 left. They are signed by Mike and
Deirdre and all the lettering on the book covers and the box cover is to
be foiled, by hand, in coppery gold. The C/E contains the CISPAP
bookmarks, but also its own limited edition pair of bookmarks - both
signed and numbered by Deirdre. The bookmarks will also have
hand-foiled borders, and are double sided. They feature a Papillon and
Phalene playing together. One is "Autumn" - the dogs are red sable and
white and play in autumn leaves, with a butterfly and horse chestnuts,
leaves, acorns and a pine cone. The second is "Winter", showing the
dogs as tricolours, with snowdrops and a background of frosty leaves,
holly and mistletoe. Only 50 of these bookmarks will ever be printed,
though Deirdre will be completing the series next year with "Spring" and
"Summer".
The subscribers to
the CE also
get their own A4 limited edition print, taken from the "Title Page"
and the "And So To Bed..." plates. Again, there are only 50 and they
are signed and numbered. As the "And So To Bed..." plate will, this
time, be printed as an onion skin in burgundy, this is the only
opportunity for anyone to see or own the drawing in its original full
colour.
Finally
subscribers, like Sponsors, are invited to choose a piece, or short
sequence, of original art work from the CISPAP.
The C/E costs
£150.00 plus postage. Prepaid orders, books for Sponsors, Subscribers
to the CE and Consultants, will be sent out asap after publication
