[AlpacaTalk] books for beginners?

Hello!

I've been lurking on this list for about a year as I'm preparing myself to
hopefully be an alpaca owner sometime this year. In preparation I've been
looking for books geared for beginners on owning alpacas or a small-scale
alpaca farm (we thought we'd plan on buying 2-3 to start with and then
expand up to 6-8 as we get more comfortable and experienced). I'm looking at
owning them for fiber, not for breeding.

Can anyone recommend any books I should be reading? I have no animal
husbandry experience so I need all the help I can get before I get into this
so that I do it right. I see a lot of books on managing llamas but
surprisingly few on alpacas.

Thanks!
