Featuring commissioned studio photography of fine breeds styled from snout to tail, the animals showcased here just love to hog the limelight. Top breeds from around the world are represented—from the graceful Large Black to the aristocratic Tamworth and the much-traveled Kune-Kune—with graphic charts containing all the essential breed information. There’s also a potted history of pigs, plus reportage photography of the behind-the-scenes primping and preening at the agricultural shows, to capture the care that is lavished on prizewinning pigs and the nail-biting judging process.

This is a book to gladden the heart of pig-lovers the world over. Packed with breed information, Beautiful Pigs is a unique gift guaranteed to make every reader feel, well, as happy as a pig in muck.

I love animals so this was right up my alley. I love the photos and the information on each breed of pig.

I grew up with potbelly pigs and someday hope to have another because they were so much fun to have around. Reading this book was fun and I enjoyed looking at the pictures.

I grew up with potbelly pigs and even had one live in the house for about a year (until she got too big and broke the litterbox haha). I really enjoyed looking at the photos and reading about this different pig breeds, especially the historic breeds, most of which I'd never heard of.
