A colourful and original style of Poultry book. - By: davidjacklin@aol.com, 14 May 2001 There are many disappointing books on Poultry & "The Fancy" However, this certainly is not one of them. It is originalin it's photography, which really makes the book what it is, a MUST for Poultry enthusiasts & interesting for others too. Although this is not a particularly factual book, it more than makes up for it by it's enjoyable pictures.
THE Chicken-Fanciers Pin-Up Book of All Time! - By: conquerors@ukgateway.net, 09 Dec 2000 Most books on chickens are technical, with perhaps a few, blurred snaps of birds taken by the author on a winter's dayin the back yard. With "Extraordinary Chickens" - prepare for your eyes to stretch wide & your jaw to drop! This is VOGUE-style photography at its very best (how DID they manage to get these birds to pose so beautifullyin the studio?). Every feather of every chicken is therein glorious, lush detail - from traditional farm-yard favourites to REALLY extraordinary exotics. There are photographic 'studies' too, with close-up montages of different feather patterns, of different foot & comb formations; whole 'clouds' of chicks of various breeds; & comical joint portraits of tiny, wiry types next to enormous, fluffy 'puff-ball' varieties.
This is an extraordinarily beautiful & amusing book, at a very good price, & one which even non-chicken fanciers would find hard to resist buying. Clucking good!
