x2, fantastic books and a must have for the GSD enthusiast!

I recently finished Culture Clash per recommendation on here and have to say it is a fantastic book.

My Years with a Dogman-
Came to me on high recommendation, and I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a bit of an "existential" take on dog training/life.

This is the German Shepherd-
The Goldbecker/Hart book. Lots of good historical and general info on the breed.

Working Dogs: An Attempt to Produce a Strain of German Shepherds Which Combines Working Ability and Beauty of Conformation-
Reads like a college textbook, but has a wealth of info for the hardcore GSD enthusiast. Documents the Fortunate Fields breeding project in the 20's.

I bought German Shepherds for dummies today. I am excited to read it. Now I have 2 to read that one and the Animal Planet book. I looked for the purely positive one at Barnes and noble, but didn't see it, so I bought the GSD for dummies.

So many great thoughts & recommendations...BUT...

Both DH & I are new to GSDs & have an almost 2-yr-old Rescue gal. We've read a few of the books suggested here, but there's too many. I'd have to quit my job, stay awake for days on end, & never spend any time with the dog or the 4 kitties...

SO - what are good "Starter" books for us? Because of her age, I don't think we need puppy books...just good, intelligently-written starter books??

Thanks
