FUJI 16,917 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Received the latest offerings regarding books through the post today by Darcy,In Pursuit of the Largest & Now That's What I Call Lurcherwork IV..I haven't read them from front to back as I've been on a 350 mile trip out with the dog today,but read a couple of chapters from each book now I'm sat down for the day & I've really enjoyed what I've read & seen so far..I'm known to take the micky out of JD but I will always be honest about things & what I will say is the books are well worth adding to your collection,for the money they are brilliant! Hope those that have them on order & or have had them delivered are happy with their purchases..fair play to JD ,he puts in the hard miles by motor & the hard yard's on foot with the dog's as many of us do..he must of stuck in at school & especially English because he sure as s##t has a great way of writing 4 Quote Link to post

By bad ones you just mean "ones with character". I have the books ordered but they may take a day or two longer to reach Ireland. Can't wait! Get your book/books out soon mate. The minshaw thread was epic and photos on it are gone. Edited December 1, 2021 by Maximus Ferret 3 Quote Link to post

chartpolski 22,299 Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 There's people who slag off the lurcher book writer, but not me ! I think it's a skill, an art, and if they use a little bit of "poetic license", so what, It's not supposed to be a reference book ! Darcy's good at it, but then I'm a bit biased, a couple of my dogs got a mention in one of his books ! ! Cheers. 2 1 Quote Link to post
