Absolutely loved the book. Must read.

I bought a used paperback that was covered in stickers because no hardbacks were available. All the stickers came off with a bit of care. The book itself is timeless and a must-read for anyone who wants to learn a bit about the life of a sheep-herders clan in New Mexico.
