Is this the one that you saw? http://www.amazon.com/Storeys-Illustrated-Guide-Poultry-Breeds/dp/1580176674

I checked it out from my library. It's pretty thorough.

I found this one tonight http://www.amazon.com/Poultry-World-Loyl-Stromberg/dp/1895270162/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216369913&sr=8-2

Poultry of the World by Loyl Stromberg 400 pages.
It's $80 in my Murray McMurray catalog.

She might have had a copy of The American Standard of Perfection. It lists all the breeds that are recognized by the APA (American Poultry Association) and lists their required traits to meet the standard for showing.

Thanks RR. I took a look over their. All I have to say is neither one of them has any decent silkie pictures. You know the complete fluff balls Ha Ha
