The Four Seasons, How to become and Stay a Champion, Feed to win 1 & 2, Fit to Win, Healthy Pigeons by Dr. Ludwig Schrag, PFH was a good booklet too. Any book by Jules Gallez, and Ad Shaerlackens is a top notch knowledgable fancier that is well worth listening to, his Janssen Bros book is quality! My uncle Jacks books on eyesign are very good too! And I found Masters of the Art of Racing & Breeding quite interesting!

Pigeon's For Everyone by Douglas McClary is an excelent book covering many aspects of both sides of the fancy [showing and racing],there is a very good chapter on advanced showing techniques,in depth section on sex linked pairings/breeding for colour/use of recessive colour genes etc.The book also covers all the basics of racing,management of the moult,feeding and just about every other aspect of pigeon keeping you can think of.

;D lol i recomend ya "pocket loft book" that tells ya all the imfo ya need to know about" YOUR" pigeons .cheers Speck ;D :P;) ;D ;D ;D :X

levi,s book" on the pigeon" is one of the most interesting , but as far as racing goes , dave allens book is a good guide to the beginner , but the old dr barkers book on the racing pigeon , still takes some beating  :)

With all the back stabbing in the doos around "me" I would suggest "Julius Ceaser" by Shakespeare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted

Geoff Kirkland good read as is Ken Kippax but you can't go wrong with Squills and stud book get them every year these outline the winning fanciers and methods of that year. Great winter reading. Now dvd's the secrets ones by Jim Jenner can't wait till another one done.

Posted

I find "Race Fit" by vet David Palmer a very useful book to have,it is very handy for diagnosing illnesses and goes into all ailments in some detail and recomendations for treatment/prognosis etc,it's also peppered with light hearted anecdotes.

I would recommend you read everything you can get your hands on. Agree with speckled hen that your loft book is an invaluable source of information. Provided youv'e written absolutely everything down.

Masters of Breeding & Racing - Victor Vansalen.  Lots of good reading in it, fine for dipping into.

One of my closest  friends bought me a copy of Pigeons For Everyone today, had a quick look through it and looks to be a very interesting book, a lot to interest anybody who has anything to do with all aspects of pigeons, whether racing , showing , breeding , covers a whole year in the loft and also has some excellent illustrations, maybe this will keep me from reading playboy for a bit .
