Any recommendations for angora rabbit books? I just got an English angora. I've had them before but want to brush up on the facts and anything new.

Completely Angora is by far the best book. It was written by Leslie Samson. It was out of print, but I think she was working on an update/reprint.
I've been out of the Angola circles for a few years, but may be able to answer specific questions you have.
BTW, English Angoras CAN be shorn instead of plucked. I didn't like how plucked fiber grew back (too many guard hairs IMO), so sheared all of mine regardless of breed. I used a small pair of scissors - could do a nice job in 45 mins.

Thanks Katievt, I'll see if I can find a copy. I'm doing a combination of shearing the most matt prone areas and brushing/plucking the rest.
Update: Holy Carp! They want $57 for that book on Amazon! The updated book,(1996) is $80. Um, no. Any other books?
