An absolute must for all present and future alpaca owners., Jun 23 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alpaca Book (Hardcover)
This book covers all aspects of the alpaca from its history to husbandry. It is easy to understand for beginners and is detailed enough to be a great reference for established breeders. It should be one of the first investments for any one who wants to know more about alpacas.

A "must have" book for anyone who is interested in alpacas., Oct 24 1999
By Linda S. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alpaca Book (Hardcover)
This book is comprehensive and covers all aspects of care that you need to be aware of if you are considering purhasing alpacas or you already have them. There is no other source for all this information. The investment in knowledge pays off many times over.

A must Read for Potential Alpaca owners, Jun 4 2005
By Michael W. Bean "Alpacapatch" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Alpaca Book (Hardcover)
This book will cut through all the hype of alpaca breeders and give you the amuniton you need when looking at potential animals.This book is well written by the legendary and pioneer Vet Eric Hoffman. This book is well illustrated and begins with the history of Alpacas in south America and takes you through a journey of Knowlege of Alpaca Biology, Husbandry and Manegementwhich includes training,Feeding,Taming and Training and Transportation. Reproduction chapter includes Genitics and Congenital/Heditary Defencts. Medical Management includes First Aid, Preventitive Medicine
The section I found most informative was the information on Alpaca Fiber, the stages of processing and the Europiean Fiber market and I'ts affects on Alpaca breeding.
This book was given to us by the farm we bought our first Alpacas from and has been an invaulable tool.
I would highly reccoment this book to anyone who is seriously looking at Alpaca Ownership.
