[Guest]

[Guest]

[johnny11]

Keep your pigeons flying is by whitney

 

Good read, another one is four seasons essential for new starter

 

also have the secret of speed and the Osman one (red cover)

[Pompey Mick]

I also think Dave Allen's 'The Widowhood Year' is a real interesting read and also for a pigeon related book I think 'The Public Life of the Street Pigeon' is full of facts and photos of Domestic Pigeons and is worth a read. But the best read of all must be 'Winning Naturally' by the Late, Great, Alf Baker

[Guest]

I asked Nigel Cowood this a few year's back and he said The four seasons, a masterpiece written yonks ago, having reread it I must agree.

[Wiley]

'Winning Naturally' by the Late, Great, Alf Baker,that is true some fanciers consider this a bible,what a pigeon he had 'the plum' i would love to have been there to listen to the stories in person of the plum.

[superstar]

The Secret of Speed, The Big Racing Pigeon Book, and Fit to Win are a good read,

Colin Walker, the flying vet, his book on pigeon health is essential reading, and Pigeon Gas by Bilco - some good tips and information and a bit of light reading when I've got 10 minutes to spare.

[birdman55678]

The collected works or "Old Hand" is a heck of a set of books.  Ed
