This book is delightful...for those of us who are infatuated with these bristly critters, it gives all the loose-end info that the other books don't. From tail-curling descriptions to grunt analysis, this book brings home the bacon. It included pig folk sayings, poems, pig songs, pig superstitions.. and the piggy illustrations were extremely detailed and captivating, if you adore porkers! It's a fun book to page through, and is chock full of obscure piggy facts that you would never find anywhere else, such as pig trails of past times, or the four varieties of spam. I am sure that any pig lover would be perusing through it as fast as I did.

This book is absolutely delightful! Few of us are aware how rich and varied our farm yard animal's history is. This is a great book for adults and kids alike. It is full of facts and also has small fun tidbits of "useless" (if there is such a thing)information that tickles your funny bone.

This is a book that goes hog-wild with descriptions of twenty-four varieties of domesticated pig and thirteen of their wild relatives. It is larded with many interesting and important facts about the development of today's common breeds. Although the author does ham it up with some of his observations, he has succeeded in fashioning a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

This is not a how to book on pig-farming. It is informative about miscellaneous facts and has good breed information. Best of all, it is written in a light-hearted, entertaining manner.

I bought this for my sister who is sort of a pig scholar. She and I both love it! There are pictures, descriptions, anecdotes, etc. I learned a lot and she thinks it's just charming.

this book dosn't help with raising pigs but general knowledge is good. has a lot of funny pig facts. all in all a good book.
T

a great guide for the new owner of pigs. I have three, pets only, but knew very little about them before they joined the family. They are very bright animals and the book is great source of informations.

good price too.

I keep this Field Guide to Pigs in my living room and have had many positive comments. It's a great book to sit down and read on a rainy day or to browse through from time to time at your leisure. I am not particular to pigs, however it was given as a gift. I recommend to anyone who likes pigs or wants an interesting read for yourself and guests!
