Summary: Falconry for Beginners
Review: I found this book to be very informative, but most of the book applies to the British. He has price quotes in pounds. Even if you are not from Britin(sp) it is still very informative.

Summary: A Gem of a book.
Review: I was at the stage where my own bird 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 9½in x 6¼in (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. NM

Summary: falconry for beginners is useless.
Review: It doesn't talk about falconry at all. It only says how falconry is not for you and shows you a couple of pictures of the equipment use in falconry. It was a very boring book with nothing interesting or helpful. It doesn't mention training, manning, trapping or anything which could possibly be usefull. I recommend falconry and hawking which was very good, but this book was horrible

Summary: Just an Overview
Review: This book is simply an overview of the sport of falconry. It is meant only to introduce the reader to the sport and prepare him for the amount of dedication owning a falcon will require. I also believe the book is designed to dissuade the person with only casual interest from entering the sport. There is very little practical "How-To" information in this book.
No training specifics. No care specifics. Save yourself 20 dollars... A magazine or Website on falconry would be a better place to find the kind of information this book offers.
