“My partner Ted and I wish to congratulate you on your wonderful book, Alpacas: Synthesis of a Miracle.

We are very new to the alpaca industry and we have found reading your book a tremendous help in understanding so much about alpacas, everything from their ancient roots to the animals themselves. We now understand why the Accoyo name is so famous in the alpaca world. We have seen the name often but had no knowledge as to why the name meant so much.

Thank you for writing your book candidly and straightforward. We appreciated that you spoke frankly regarding topics that many people consider taboo. It has helped us get a more accurate scope as to what the alpaca industry can be all about.”
