mbc1963 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I read this book years ago, on the recommendation of a book selling catalog. It's a great story of old-time working sheepdogs in Scotland. All collies and sheep and rugged men and whatnot. Is our Bob the rogue sheep killer!? Or will he win the championship!? You'll have to read the book to find out! I keep buying old books and yesterday picked up yet ANOTHER copy of BSOB, only to find that it's just a duplicate of a copy I already have. So - up for (free) grabs is a great sheep herding, border-collie book! (I think Bob is a border collie, even though he's often drawn as a standard collie.) First person to message me their wish for the book and a mailing address gets it. Maybe we can do a board share, where people read the book and then pass it along to another happy reader. I remember we did that years ago, and I shared my fearful-dog training books with other members after I stopped being afraid Buddy would bite someone.

Tommy Coyote Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have an old, old copy myself. It's such a great book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc1963 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 OK! Book is spoken for. But yes, it's a great book - you all should read it if you can find a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Bob, Son of Battle (great old book!) is one of the books that Project Gutenburg makes available online for free -- see http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2795 I'm so old-fashioned I prefer "real" books, and I love the idea of Boards members sharing books, but PG's is worth knowing about if you like ebooks or if you'd like to read a few chapters online to get a feel for it.

Maralynn Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 That's cool, Mary! And thanks for the link, Eileen. I also really prefer real books but have found that I'm more apt to actually read them in e format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalahundur Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Thanks Eileen, I like real books, but living in the middle of nowhere, far from good libraries, bookstores etc, made me really appreciate the convenience of my e reader. I already use Gutenburg site but I had missed this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
