I have a book called 'The Book Of The Yorkshire Terrier', it is 352 pages, written in 1984 by Joan McDonald Brearley. I bought it on ebay for $30 and it has many pictures of the older Yorkies and while they were beautiful in their time, many of them appear to have dark cottony coats. The book has a excellent history of the breed in it and many wonderful pictures.
