It Truly is the Useful Guide June 8, 2007

I've been a guinea pig owner and cavy book collector for 20 years. If you're like me, you often check the page count of a book before deciding to buy it. If you do that with this book, you'll miss out on a wonderful slim volume. You'll also find that some long guinea pig books contain no meat, while a shorter one can be packed full. Having a slim volume like this can be great in an emergency, too, because you can more easily find what you're looking for. To help illustrate this book's in depth content, it "diagnosed" three health conditions in my piggies when vets provided inaccurate answers for two conditions (for the third, I found out quickly that the condition was completely benign and didn't require a trip to the vet).
Often it seems that the writing of pet care books gets handed off to staff writers who have no experience in what they're writing about, and a lot of the books thus contain errors that are rather glaring to long-time guinea pig owners. Not so with Ms. Mahoney's book--check out p. 4! Her enthusiasm for the subject matter clearly comes across, as does her expertise. She provides concise information in a fun format. Some readers may be put off by the fact that the book is illustrated not with photos but with comical guinea pig illustrations. To me, this is part of the charm of the book.
When I need a guinea pig book I can count on, this is the one I reach for on the shelf. If I could only have one guinea pig care book, this one would be it. The title of the book says it all!
