"An Inconvenient Spaniel," by LuLu Beagle...Alas! The beloved author of the iconic "Puppies in Lust" series keeps trying to resurrect Lily the Spaniel from the murky waters below Reichenbark Falls. This book is a cry from the pocketbook over the loss of the torrid little canine superstar who once referred to herself as "the hottest thing to come out of a kennel since boiled kibble." Obviously, wit alone was not Lily's strong suit. ($25 hardbark; $12 paperback...from Shininghowl Press.) Jacket photo by J.M. Hilton.
