Yes i reccomend book of the bitch also. It also tells you all about whelping (although dont take it word for word, especially about the time between pups as my pups were born about 2 - 3 hours after each other and were fine and the book says that they should be born soon after each other)..

It tells you what to expect throughout the weeks that you will have them (eg when their eyes open) and is very handy.
