lurcher lass 9 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) this book is certainly worth every single penny!!! if you ordered just one of these photos framed you'd expect to pay a fortune!! the pictures are stunningly beautiful and i feel like you could nearly poke old puss on the nose every photo is moving and its amazing to see the beauty in the combining the dog, hare and camera,, edited to say many thanks darcy I only hope we have a book on deerwork of similar quailty Edited October 14, 2010 by lurcher lass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Well the book arrived yesterday and although I was relagated to reading it second after lurcher lass confiscated the book, I can only say no review can do the book justice, never seen anything like it, the book contains photos the quality of which are like nothing I have ever seen, anybody looking at this book can't for one second doubt the price as has been previously mentioned, this is a work of art and as lass mentioned, be nice to see one done on deer and fox next Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi Guys.....Thanks for the kind words, the book did take a bit of doing and ,although theres a few minor things i dont like, i am quite pleased. I cannot take all the credit myself, i have a list of acknowledgements in the back for those that helped me. Its a fine line knowing how many words to put in a book, and yes, i suppose some may call it a 'photo book' as, truthfully, there are only a handful of articles. But i wanted this book to be a visual treat for those who love to see running dogs in action against the mighty Brown Hare, one on one. If i do another then there will be many more words, and i have done several interviews for it already, so in the next 3 or 4 years watch this space! This is by no way an advertisement, but i also have the Nick Stevens autobiography out in three weeks, it will only ever be issued once and will not be reprinted. Its about 190+ pages and, i think, a very good read into the life of a secretive man, looking into the background of the terriers he became famous for. Lots and lots of writing in this one, so worth getting a copy to read or to drop on ebay once they have sold out. As some have mentioned i am also in the process of producing a book on the history of deer hunting with lurchers, but that is at least a year away. But i can promise lots of writing and lots of pics too of lots and lots of pre-ban deer coursing. I plan on that one too being a limited edition and numbered, with maybe an accompanying booklet, or something special to go with it. Thanks for the support people, and i know that £33 alot of money for a book, especially in todays climate, but i think it will double its value in the year. And, likewise with the postage, i charge £5 which is a lot of money, but it actually costs me £7.20!, but i do not think its fair to charge that much, so a fiver it is. Anyway, sorry to bore, good hunting to everyone this season...cheers JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
