This basic 20 page book gives a brief overview applicable to new owners. It does not tell you how or where to trim your ESS to achieve Show results. In fact it suggests that the breed needs little trimming which surely depends on the length and curliness of their ears, head and coat. It also does not differentiate between Bench (Show) and Field type ESS's. The book does mention other activities you and your dog might enjoy and covers basic health issues. ( )
