In Praise of Chickens: A Compendium of Wisdom Fair and Fowl

i was excited when i received this gift, but it honestly wasn't what i expected. (i like a little order to my random information! still,) in my opinion, it is well worth the price for the illustrations and mark twain's chicken vocabulary alone. it's a handsome little, red cloth, nicely bound book, nice for any chicken enthusiast to have laying around! (my only personal complaint, there's no room to write in a border anyplace). i'll give it 3 stars !

From Amazon reviewer Yogapal:
Entertaining blend of history and gorgeous art obtained from collections world-wide, marked by a singular intelligence and wit. A perfect gift, especially with increased interest in urban chicken rearing.
