Ringcraft books

Does anyone know any good ring craft books?? I have not given up the search for a club to go to yet but i would like to teach both Ela and me the basics in the mean time.

Thanks

When you say ringcraft do you mean ring procedure rather than how to handle a specific breed?

If so try this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Good-Showing.../dp/1852791152

If you are buying books be careful that they are not published in America because showing over there is totally different

This book and the website have been done by my Border Collie friend Marina. The book is very informative. Although it's aimed at the handling classes has a lot of useful tips on presenting yourself in the ring. Marina is always happy to help too, so any questions you may have you can ask through her website.
