 problem with book and cover March 5, 2009

My friend was suppose to receive this book as a gift. However, when the book came he discovered the book and the cover did not match. It was a completely different book on the inside; a novel in fact. He also found a packing list from someone who obviously returned the book to Amazon inside the book because of that problem. Now, my friend returned the book as well. I think this may be a problem when this edition was printed. Hoping the replacement has the inside to match the outside.

This book has a wealth of information useful to the guinea pig owner that you won't find in books from the pet stores. It has served as a health guide to me, as well as to my friends who also own piggies, for over 5 years. It is especially useful if vets in your area are ignorant on the subject of guinea pig health care (which is more often the case than you'd care to know). At the very least, it serves as a starting point for further investigation into health problems when you don't know where to turn. I highly recommend it to anybody who really loves their guinea pigs and wants to look out for them.

WOW! This book is a wealth of information for a layman guinea pig owner. It contains anything and everything you need to know about the health of the guineas! I've read it 3 times and still pick up some new info. Great book to have in case your guinea is ill.
Overpriced! November 4, 2006

For the amount that this "book" cost, I would have expected a hard cover book with many more pages of information. Instead it was soft covered with very little helpful information.
This item is not worth purchasing.

A superb, informative book for those interested in learning more about medical issues that can affect Guinea Pigs. We (TX Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue) recommend this to all our new guinea pig adopters.
