If you own a pig, you should have this book, Jan 6 2009
By Hollis Tibbetts - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pot-Bellied Pet Pigs: Mini-Pig Care and Training (Paperback)
This book is perfect for the potbellied pig owner. It is sufficiently detailed, yet not so technical as to make it unreadable by a lay person.
Despite the rather silly (but amusing) cover, it is a serious and useful book. It is well-written and the authors go out of their way to make it useful to the non-veterinary person.
The book is not a 1000 page tome of everything you would need to know to get a DVM degree with a specialization in potbellies; instead, it focuses on the medical issues that the PBP owner reallly needs to know - the "gotchas", so to speak.
If you have a pig at home (or are looking to get a pig), you should have this book.
If your vet isn't a pig specialist, RUN, don't walk to your keyboard and order this book. Oh wait, if you're reading this, you're already AT your keyboard. So just order it. That, and if you're a new owner, find a good book on pig behavior and psychology.

I did not realize it was an old edition, I would have purchased a more recent version
