From Library Journal
The dictionary suggests the synonyms pervasive , popular , and widespread for the word ubiquitous. Living up to its title, this book is filled with pigs and pig lore. Lavishly illustrated with representatives in every media from porcelain to postcards, it provides a delightful commentary on the affinity between people and pigs. The reader will be introduced to pig facts ("proto-pigs roamed the forests and wetlands of Europe 40 million years ago") and pig Latin, pigs as pets, banks, political satirists, performers, and of course pork. This is not a comprehensive collection of piggy paraphernalia, but the 165 illustrations should satisfy and entertain pig enthusiasts as well as those with only a casual interest. There are other anthologies on the popular pig, but this book is so appealing that all those who passed this reviewer's desk picked it up and paged through it with a smile. Recommended for popular collections.
