5.0 out of 5 stars Best Basic Pig Book for Small Scale Pigkeeping, 5 Aug 2008
By P. R. Scott (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read at least 10 pig books in the past couple of years, but this gets my vote as the best one for the small-scale pig keeper. Covers everything you need to know (including what to do if you have to raise piglets without the mother's help, something a surprising number of books ignore) without going into too much mind-boggling detail. There are a lot of great pig books out there, but most of them are aimed at pig farms. This is more geared towards the smallholder, pet pig owner or hobbyist. And isn't the pig on the front cover just great?!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile buy, 19 Nov 2007
By A. J. Garbutt (North Yorks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're new to pig keeping this is a good book to start with, very good sound advice offered which will help you through those first nerve wracking weeks of pig keeping. Mine is somewhat tattered and coffee stained and well thumbed. Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Piggin Marvellous, 10 Feb 2009
By S. Morris - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book for people who want to see all aspects of keeping pigs, so just waiting for some extra space so we can put the theory into practice.
