THE SHEPHERD'S DOG
"Without the shepherd's dog, the whole of the open mountainous land in Scotland would not be worth a sixpence. It would require more hands to manage a stock of sheep, gather them from the hills, force them into houses and folds, and drive them to markets, than the profits of the whole stock were capable of maintaining."
--James Hogg, 1824, from The Shepherd's Calendar

THE VERY BEST OF BLACK BOB, THE DANDY WONDER DOG
In June 2010, Geddes & Grosset/Waverley Books published a new edition of Black Bob, The Dandy Wonder Dog, to coincide with The Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh, Scotland. They named it The Very Best of Black Bob, The Dandy Wonder Dog and we are thrilled to have ten copies available for sale. It is a beautiful volume, with an introduction full of old photographs and history. For those of you who grew up with Black Bob, you are going to want to own a copy of this book. It is in the same format as the original Black Bobs and so will fit nicely on your bookshelf next to your beloved old editions. For those of you who have just started to collect the Black Bob books in recent years, you will have to include this one in your collection. For a start, it is brand new and very inexpensive. And for those of you who are new to Black Bob or who have children or grandchildren who have never met the redoubtable Black Bob, this book will be a wonderful introduction. We also still have a few copies of the original editions of Black Bob, The Dandy Wonder Dog.
