Yep I can’t blame you there. Me and some of my other small business friends have had bad experiences with PayPal. Place is a joke. Closing down your business on a whim should not be allowed by anyone without at least some notice.

Was going to order one today only to find out they only accept PayPal. To their credit, I emailed them about it and they quickly responded but I'm a hard NO on PayPal. Guess I'll find a different book. Jimbo, you can skip PayPal at thehogbook.com and pay with Stripe instead. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Also, there's a Black Friday Sale starting on 11/23 until 11/26 where everyone can get $10 off the book, $5 off the charcoal hats and $5 off any shirt. Thanks! Jesse Griffiths

Hmm, being around Austin I wonder if I could simply drop by the restaurant some time to get one and save the shipping costs. --

Thanks for all of the interest and feedback on the book. I'm the author (a daily reader of THF, but random poster) and would love to answer any questions y'all have about the book or hog cookery in general.
The book is available on thehogbook.com only, as it is self-published and self-distributed. It's 420 pages of hog hunting, skinning, gutting, butchery (4 different butchery sequences for small, medium, large sow and large boar) and over 115 recipes for hogs including whole hogs, brining, sausage, curing, slow cooking, grilling, smoking and offal.
Again, your support is greatly appreciated and looking forward to seeing what y'all make!
Jesse Griffiths No joking this might be the nicest "cookbook" I've ever seen - from the print quality, content, photographs, index, etc... y'all did everything right. I'm more than happy to support your effort. The Chorizo Verde and charro beans were fantastic, too. I'll keep bumping this with more updates as I try out more recipes.

It might be a good book, but $50 is too much IMO.
I'll just watch youtube videos.

I think I paid like 90 bucks including a shirt. I like supporting guys that create great original content. How many other cookbooks are you going to buy that sort recipes by the size of the pig you shoot? Made the vindaloo the other night, added some green cardamom and served with yogurt with lime, cilantro, mint and green onions. Good inspiration in here.

Got my Hog Book a couple of months ago. Great book very well done with beautiful photography. I forget what I paid for it, but it was worth every penny. It gives me plenary of recipes to try after deer hunting season, when I really get after pigs!

Worth every penny and then some!
I bought 3 - 2 for friends and one for myself. I absolutely love it.
Will post some pics of the meals we cook with it, and hope others here continue to do the same!
Thanks for sharing your talents, Jesse!

Going to eat some crow!!
OK based upon the overwhelming reviews and support for this book - I bought one. Received it this afternoon. It is a really nice book. Still not sure that it's worth $78 (got a signed copy), but I don't feel cheated. As I mentioned it is a really nice book and I'm happy that I have one!!
I'm hoping to really get after the hogs when I finish our house reno and this book will be very helpful in when I do.

I received a copy of The Hog Book about two weeks ago, and I've been perusing various sections. Overall I'm happy to have bought it. The first 100+ pages discuss hunting, trapping, and various related things regarding the acquisition of a hog. Having hunted and trapped hogs for over 15 years, I didn't really learn much that was new from that. For someone new to the topic it is a nice collection of info all in one place. There are quite a few pages, with excellent photography, describing how to cut up a hog. The book shows examples for small and medium hogs, as well as individual discussion on large sows and large boars. I can't emphasize enough the quality of the photographs. Still, although I don't shoot a ton of hogs every year, I have no plans to butcher a complete hog. I don't have the time nor the work space to do that, and the freezer is pretty full with just the leg quarters and back straps I've taken. For me, although the hunting, trapping, and butchering sections are interesting, the cooking portion is my main interest. Generally most of the recipes are not super complicated. A few use some spices I don't have and don't really want to purchase and inventory for the limited use they'd give me. In other cases, I think I can substitute something. There's a recipe for Wild Boar Suadero (sort of baked and then grilled meat for tacos - my apologies to the author if that's too simplified) which I plan to try. However, the ingredient list includes chipotle powder and guajillo powder. I'll probably use taco seasoning and/or chili powder with maybe a pinch of cumin. If it doesn't turn out to be wonderful, I won't blame the book. On the other hand there's a recipe for Boar Paprikash which is similar to a recipe I already have, but with a few changes/additions. What I've made in the past was good enough that my wife really liked it, but I think Mr. Griffiths' version will offer improvement. I plan to try curing and smoking a ham soon. The book contains information on that although the essay Dink Dodger posted on this forum seems more detailed so I plan to use his information as well. https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/8466972/curing-feral-hams#Post8466972 I saved the web pages to my computer in my Recipes Folder just to make sure I could always find it again. In conclusion, The Hog Book has what appear to be a very nice collection of recipes for feral hogs and I'm glad I got it. --
I have two unwritten rules: 1. 2.
