Description
Sometimes a book is written that is so comprehensive, so imaginative, and so clever as to be dubbed a “classic”. In literature, there are the works of William Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Agatha Christie, to name but a few. Among classic reference publications, one could cite such luminaries as the Encyclopedia Britannica, Webster’s Dictionary, and the Physicians Desk Reference. With so many “flash-in- the-pan” books that will be here today, gone tomorrow, it is truly my honor to announce that a genuine CLASSIC book has been written by one of AOBA’s own members.
I do not choose the word “classic” lightly, either: I truly believe that “The Camelid Companion” is the most comprehensive, articulate, and sensible reference tool to have ever been written about camelid behavior. Head and shoulders above other texts of similar ilk, this is a book that every alpaca and llama owner – new and seasoned – should possess. It is incredibly well-written and will retain its utility forever. This, to me, defines a classic in the truest sense.
