This review is from: Canary Breeding for Beginners - A Practical Guide to the Cult of Canary Breeding, Designed Specially for the Use of the Beginner in the Hobby. (Paperback)

I wouldn't recommend this as a reference book, it is too outdated. Mine doesn't have a date but it is before refrigeration, so that tells you something. But it is highly of interest to the avid canary breeder as a collectible and to see how far we have come in the "cult" of canary breeding, as the book calls it....
