Pigeon

Great book. Shipped fast

This is probably one of the top books on the subject. Just started flipping through it. It's a wealth of knowledge. 1986 edition. Fortunate to find a copy in such good shape.

the history and everything you need to know!

These are 2 books that I have wanted since I was a young boy raising pigeons but my family could not afford them. I now have my own family raised and now have a few pairs of beaufiful show pigeons. I recently purchased "The Pigeon as well as The Encyclopedia of Pigeon Breeds by Wendell M. Levi" Both books are the best there is on pigeons. They cover every thing you need to know about raising and caring for them. I only wish I had them when I was a boy. I could have used the help. L.J.H. Spanish Fork, Utah

This book is a classic. The only reason I withheld 5 stars is because you occasionally come across information that has been superceded by recent genetic information. I recommend this book to any and all who want to understand pigeons, pigeon breeding, health, housing, genetics . . . . . you get the picture. I bought a used copy that smells like it came out of a musty old library and I couldn't be more pleased. This is a reference book, like where you go to find answers to questions. I have literally spent hours poring over its pages.

If ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIGEON BREEDS could be topped, it would be only by THE PIGEON and only Wendell Levi could have had enough knowledge and love of such a topic as pigeons. Whatever your interest in pigeons, hobbyist, researcher or commercial production, you will find this a treasure trove to be valued more than most any book in your possession. Enjoy this book, then order ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIGEON BREEDS and MAKING PIGEONS PAY - I got all three at Amazon and am grateful to Wendell Levi and his heirs, as well as Amazon, for making such terrific books available in the 21st Century.

It has great information and great old photos

I read this book several years ago and used it extensively while my son and I were raising pigeons! It is every bit as good now as it was then, every pigeon fancier who raise's pigeons or who just loves to watch them will gain a new respect for the bird and begin to watch them in a new way! An excellent book in all respects!

Muy bueno, muy recomendable.Una obra absolutamente necesaria para el aficionado a las palomas. Con contenidos aún hoy muy útiles y prácticos.
