2.0 out of 5 stars Just an Overview, November 5, 2003

C. Jackson (Carrollton, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Falconry For Beginners (Hardcover)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars falconry for beginners is useless., January 3, 2002

Manuel F Camacho (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Falconry For Beginners (Hardcover)

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
