Guest JohnGalway Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I see a lot of topics about books around lately. What's your favourite fieldsports/hunting book? All sections included incase I'm leaving anything obvious out like fishing. With Christmas not all that far away (don't kill me for mentioning it in October - just!), might give some ideas for presents Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pointer28 1 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 The World of the Working Terrier by David Harcombe Great book to dip into now and again, not to be read as an "instruction manual" type of book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
