Seeing as I seem to be considering a Dwarf, I thought I should read up on them first, as I have never had one.

Anyone got any recommendations for dwarf specific books?

Found these on Amazon, but have no idea if they are any good.

I have all these books and they're all really good but if you're only going to get one I would reccomend the Barrons (your third link) one, it's jam packed with lots of brilliant stuff and "chart style" information on each breed which is really useful :wink:

The only dwarf specific book I've found to be any good is the Barrons one. With that and the "bible" Hamsterlopedia, I think you've got dwarfies covered as much as is possible. :)
