SOME USEFUL BOOKS ON RABBITS FOR YOU TO PURCHASE

Some of these books can be purchased locally in Australia though you may have to ask your bookshop to order them in. Also the Fur & Feather bookshop has many excellent titles (anything from the list below published either by Coney, Fur & Feather or Printing for pleasure can be found there). And there is also good old Amazon (either the original one or the UK one). The club used to have a library but it was disbanded several years ago through lack of use.
