ISBN: 9780747807636 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Not so long ago, there were local British pigs of every size, color and shape.

Today most of the colorful old local breeds have disappeared; now only three of four highly commercial breeds and a...
