Racing Pigeons by David Glover,
By Fred W. Gohlke, Jr. (Findlay, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Racing Pigeons (Hardcover)
I have raised pigeons for over 45 years and have read most everything avaiable about them, This book is a very good one and has lots of pictures that give the reader a clear picture of what he is describing in the text. There are not many good books on the racing side of the sport so this one should be welcomed. I would highly recommend it to anyone that has an interest in learning more about raising or racing pigeons.

This review is from: Racing Pigeons (Hardcover)
I am just getting started in pigeon racing and as I do with a hobby, I purchase as many books on the subject as I can. This book stands out as the most concise and complete overview of the hobby covering everthing from loft design and getting your first birds to training and racing strategies. I only held back the fifth star because of its predominantly British leaning with some info not applicable to racing in the USA. I would highly recommend this book to those interested in the hobby.

This review is from: Racing Pigeons (Hardcover)
As a newbie to racing homing pigeons, I found this book very informative and helpful to me. There really isn't a whole lot of literature on the subject and this has to be the best.
