Beautiful Sheep: Portraits of champion breeds

What a unique book! It portrays stunning photographs of 42 breeds of sheep, explaining their features, use, related breed, size, origin and distribution. The sheep look very healthy and it's quite funny to try to imagine their personality! :)

The first part of the book includes a history of the sheep, the development of breeds and how to best prepare for a show.

The last part of the book is supposed to be a reportage, but it was just a low-quality collage in sepia and black and white of photos from a sheep show. I was expecting some description, some interview or some funny anecdote. In this form, it didn't seem necessary or useful.

Overall, I really enjoyed seeing all those beautiful breeds of sheep and I would recommend this book to any sheep-lover :)

Thank you NetGalley and Ivy Press for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
