If you're like me and just plain like sheep but can't tell a Finnsheep from a Romanov, you'll also love this book! Each sheep breed is given two pages, one with its photo, detailed description of the fleece, effects of dyes and best uses for the wool while the facing page provides a closeup photo of a lock of the fleece, details as to the weight, fiber diameter, colors, etc., as well as a little ...

    Title clearly states contents of the book

    Well done

    Breeds are in alphabetical order, so no hunting. Text is short and sweet. Excellent field guide.
