Very informative, but of course I did not have any idea of what Falconry was prior to reading the book. I bought the book for a nephew of mine, who happened to obtain a baby hawk. He nurtured the bird from a very young age. The book was to improve his knowledge on how to take care of the bird. I had somebody else order the book for me - Darlyn Cobb" , that is why I am doing the review. Thanks.

This book gives good insight into the world of Falconry and the many items needed to become a Falconer. The one drawback is its author is English and deals with laws in England which are different then here in the United States.
Anyone interrested in the sport would benifit from reading this book. The author gives both pros and cons which helps guide the reader to answer the question if Falconry is for you.

It is a very helpful book.But sadly, the pound and the dollar arent the same,and the price specifications are almost no use to me.I don't know if any thing else is different,so you will have to figure that out yourself.

I was at the stage where my own European Eagle Owl was flying free and ready for the next stage of training as we progressed (hopefully) to the day when he would take a rabbit. Having read books by other author's (including one called "Falconry" in which the subject of falconry itself is not even covered!) I needed the right book - and I needed it now.
When the book first arrived it looked as though it might end up being a 4 Star book - but I was wrong. You see, each and every book I review (and I have reviewed several hundred), commences with a full quota of 5 stars. Stars may then be lost for any number of reasons - but they have to be lost through some shortcoming of the book itself. There are no shortcomings here.
The book measures 9in x 6in (24cm x 16cm) and contains 150 pages. It is well laid out, well written and well illustrated. The subjects range from an introduction to the subject of falconry, getting started, equipment (and it's all in there!), your first bird, care, illnesses, rules of the sport and the law.
Not only did I come to the book with a lot of questions, but as I read the book (some sections more than once) I found myself asking yet more questions. It says much for the competence of this author that all the answers were found - within the book itself. I have already adopted the author's prescribed method of intruding a Rabbit lure to my bird - and it's working.
In short, I am so delighted with this book that I could not find a single reason to deduct one star. The reader gets exactly what it says on the cover; This is a book about "Falconry for Beginners" and an excellent one at that.

this was my first book on the subject and it was close to useless.for a real book try the complete falconer by frank beebe or falconry and hawking by philip glasier.
