About This Item
London: John Gifford Ltd, 1970. First published in 1960. This is a ninth impression from 1970. Hardback. 206pp. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dust jacket. Written in an easy and readable style, this is a perfect book for those with a specific interest in falconry and to all with a general interest in birds and their training. Avoiding obscure language, the author goes through every stage leading to the mastery of this ancient art. Experience alone brings perfection, but all the material aid a book can provide is contained here. Illustrated with black & white photographs and diagrams. Book condition very good. A little light soiling to text block edges. Dust jacket good. Unclipped. Generally a little rubbed and soiled with some edge wear. A little chipping to corners and some wear to extremities of spine. Spine a little faded and some toning to internal surfaces. Jacket in a protective sleeve.
