The book is in a good unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing and rubbing to the top and bottom of the front and back covers and spine, a one inch closed tear to the top corner and bottom edge of the front cover, top of the spine and top edge of the back cover, which also has an open tear to the top edge.

Retriever Training for the Duck Hunter is much more than a comprehensive method for the training of retrievers. Milner's text deals with that special relationship which develops between a hunter and his dog. This warmth and closeness shared by both - working and thinking in unison - is unique. It is this kind of relationship which all dog lovers seek.
The developmental process through which you and your dog will progress, chapter by chapter, will suddenly appear quite logical and easy to follow.
Though designed for the duck hunter and his retriever, Milner's book applies to anyone - adults or youngsters, who will take pride in having an ideally trained retriever.
