Product Description
Review
The rehabilitation of the pig after Swine Flu starts here. Guaranteed to bring a fond smile to pig-lovers everywhere.
(Saga )Stubborn and traditionally unkemp, the pig is an unlikely candidate for a photoshoot. But they can scrub up rather nicely.
(Daily Telegraph )Smelly they may be, but there's something quite loveable about pigs. Beautiful Pigs by Andy Case portrays them in all their glory.
(Northern Echo )A stunning collection of porcine portraits.
(Daily Express )Primped, polished and looking positively gorgeous.
(Cotswold Life )Some may think the title sounds like a bit of an oxymoron, but this gorgeous book is packed with Andrew Perris's glamourous piggy portraits. You certainly don't have to be a pig enthusiast to be charmed by the quirky beauties in this book.
(Country-side )Andrew Perris undertook this unusual commission to illustrate a book on the different breeds of pig and simply outdid himself. In these stunning stark portraits, Perris manages to capture porcine facial expressions and convey a different mood in each shot. If Irving Penn and Tim Flach had collaborated on a project they might have come close to this.

Nobody could look at this book without a smile on their face. Whatever your circumstances, you will feel better for leafing through it. It is so obviously produced by people with a pig passion, whose enthusiasm is infectious. The finest specimens of each breed are pictured and described in all their glory. I just wish I had an orchard, in which I could keep a couple...

Format:Paperback
I bought this book as a small humorous gift to my parents who have had their first 6 months of looking after 2 Tamworth pigs. I thought it was a good present as it gives 'lightweight' information about pigs. They like it as it gives some information about some breeds of pigs, but isn't too detailed and wouldn't bore them with facts that they don't need to look after their pigs.
