Handbook



Pigman's Handbook (ISBN: 0852361262) Brent, Gerry. Farming Press, Ipswich, 1982


In another part of my life, I shelved a lot of books. A lot. I grew fond of some, simply for inexplicable reasons. This was my favorite book cover ever. It's a straightforward text on pig care. But I loved the image. I finally found the book. online. I won't be buying it, but now I can share this wonderful photo of a man tickling a pig.

I don't think he's tickling the pig, so much as poking it to ascertain its meaty goodness.

I can't see the picture at all. Phantom pig.

Ok, see if that works.

What a great image. I think he's testing it for roastability.

I can see him now, I think he's being navel checked.
Book shelvers are the unsung heroes of learning.
