Frank Illingworth FALCONS AND FALCONRY Hardback
Fourth edition, first print hardback of FALCONS AND FALCONRY by Frank Illingworth and published by Blandford Press Ltd., Dorset in 1975. It was first published in 1948.
The book is in very good condition (Clean brown cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine), with very slight wear to the illustrated dust jacket which is not price clipped (minor creasing to the edges, and very slight tanning along the edges and a one centimeter closed tear to the bottom spine corner at the back). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions. There is light tanning to the page ends.
"This is a completely revised and enlarged edition of the popular small book published just after the war. It contains the most up-to-date information available on the subject, and has around 20 new photographs. Frank Illingworth describes in some detail every aspect of falconry, from actually obtaining falcons and hawks, to their training and care. This book is designed essentially for the beginner and is based on the author's own and varied experiences and on those of leading British, American and European falconers."
