I was recommended this book by a friend and enjoyed the well written text tremendously which was clear and precise. I found the author communicated well with the beginner and I took his advice and joined a local club where the book is recommended to their newcommers. Falconry is complicated and only for the few. BUY THIS BOOK. Thank you.


Thinking of taking up Falconry - don't buy this book!   January 3, 2000

The best part of this book is the law section, which is written by a UK authority and there it ends! The book appears to be a good advert for the author's courses and will instruct the tyro little about how to train a bird of prey. The section on choosing a hawk isn't bad and I agree with the author's advice concerning Buzzards. The book has been written with all good intentions, but spend your money on something else, like Jemima Parry-Jones's book, or Philip Glasier's classic. The section on building a weathing for a bird is terrible, please take other advice & don't follow these instructions. Save your money and choose another title.

Being new to falconry, this book is filled with all the information to set the beginner off on the right tracks. This book is a must for anyone starting off within a sport of such high demands. BRILLIANT.
