2.0 out of 5 stars An unfortunate mix of great photos with substandard text., March 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Proper Care of Canaries (Hardcover)

If you would like lots of great pictures of many canaries of color and type varieties, you may enjoy this book despite its sometime misidentification of the birds in the captions. I have noted that the quality of the text published by TFH in recent years varies widely. Some of it now seems to suffer due to poor editing and author error. This is especially true of THE PROPER CARE OF... series. For more sophisticated and more accurate text try some of their older selections like: CANARIES AND RELATED BIRDS-- Horst Bielfeld or ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CANARIES-- G.T. Dodwell. The information in these older books may lack the latest trends in aviculture, but these trends aren't covered in the present book either!
