Recommended especially to those with a new interest in North American decoys, but seasoned collectors will also enjoy the wonderful photography and historic photographs and will pick up nuggets of information from Shaw's text. Many of the decoys illustrated may be familiar to the more hard core collectors, as some have previously been illustrated in other publications or auction catalogs. Regardless, the authors knowledge of the subject, the wonderful illustrations,and the overall format and presentation of the book, coupled with the reasonable cost make this a worthy acquisition to anyone with interest in the subject

Excellent review of the history of decoys. I'm a duck hunter and found this to be informative and enjoyable.

According to my son, who was the recipient of this gift, this is a wonderful book, especially because of the history of decoys and wonderful pictures and illustrations. This is truly a great gift for the duck hunter.

This book has several designs for decoys but the cover is like the trojan horse if you have any imagination the cover alone will take you back in time.
