Book Review: How Word of Mouth Advertising Works With Cow Books
Summary: 5 Stars
I live, with four widely spaced neighbors in 20 miles, in the high desert 84 miles east of San Diego. No one in their right mind lives out here unless they are in the coyotes/cows category as we evidently are. Today I had to go into town, and on the lonely road through miles of ranchland I saw a white VW camper like mine stopped alongside the road. I approached it slowly to try to see if it were an intentional or accidental stop. The guy in the driver's seat waived as I passed but looked contented as a cow to be there. In fact, he looked like he was just sitting there watching the cows nearby. Yet nobody out here watches cows, so a couple of miles down the road I started worrying. I turned back and asked him if he needed help. "Just watching cows," he said, and held up..."A Field Guide to Cows." Immediately I made a U-turn to check out this book. WOW!! Right away we found in it a Polled Gray I'd spotted at a Santa Ysabel ranch and was dying of curiously to identify. Had to have this book. (This elderly guy, all alone and recently returned from stargazing at Anza Borrego Desert State Park, had stopped to watch an Angus calf being nursed by a Jersey mom.) This book's a great way to meet great people as well as great cows! And living out here, I know Amazon will get it to me fast without having to burn 8 gallons worth of gas to the nearest store.
