i am getting a paperback version of this alf baker book

 

Is that the reprint version ??

[owen101]

not sure why?

it got a picture of a man in front of his loft on the front cover

[showman]

Just wondering. There were quite a few reprinted pigeon books put on the market, and on some of them you 'loose' some pages due to very poor printing.

a nice interesting  book called  " pigeon" by barbara allen,

 

really not on racing pigeons as such, but contains many interesting facts and theories on pigeons in general  through the ages.

[Guest bakes]

longdistance racing pigeons by john clements a great read

 

second that got that my self.

[jimmy white]

used to have an old book,," dr barkers book on the pigeon",, lent it out, never to be seen ;D,, but great old book with plenty common sense and  pigeon husbandry etc,, even in to-days way of racing, still made great sense

[Tony C]

The old Jules Gallez books. The value in them is that it shows the basics then are as they are now.
