An excellent introduction to all major aspects of hobby sheep farming in a thorough and accessible format. This is a great place to start learning, as well as a basic reference book, and it offers more resources to turn to for an even more in-depth look at various aspects.
It covers sheep breeds, fencing requirements, feed and pasture concerns, common pests and diseases in sheep and more. Because of the breadth of the coverage, it is not extremely deep in any given topic but it gives you enough information to get started and tells you where to turn if you want to go further.
