Illustrated with over 800 photographs and nearly 800 pages long, this hard cover book is one of the finest ever printed on pigeons. Also has chapters on care, color breeding, and history with humans. A must for every pigeon owner's library.

If you love pigeons you are going to love this book. It not only has terrific photos, but it has a wealth of information about each breed and much about the different varieties within the breeds.

I also thoroughly enjoyed Wendell Levi's other two classics, THE PIGEON, and MAKING PIGEONS PAY.

No pigeon fancier will be without ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIGEON BREEDS. Nor will any commercial pigeon raiser will be without THE PIGEON.

Needless to say, those of you who may wish to learn about squab raising will certainly find no equal to MAKING PIGEONS PAY.

A beautiful book with hundreds of color pictures representing pigeons from around the world. The variety in terms of colors, patterns and shapes is absolutely amazing! No other book that I know of comes even close in terms of completness. For each race there is a section on origin, description, size, colors and other comments. For a newcomer to this hobby it's a perfect way to choose a race of pigeon to raise either for flying or for expositions.

It may also be that some of the races presented have completely died out and therefore this book has value as an historical reference for what once was but has been lost.
