This is a list of books that have some content to do with sheep. Most listings are from the original The Sheep Book, and the rest added as I encounterer them. The list is from oldest to youngest.
Many of these will be long out of print, but may be available in libraries or from used book dealers.
Let me know if you have any suggested additions, and add a short comment or review, and please indicate who you are - preferably with an email address.
