Hello Rocky,
I just happened upon something on Facebook, in the form of Colonel Thornton's Sporting Tour (Schwerdt's copy no less), and it set me to thinking how inspirational, if not necessarily instructive books like that can be.
Another such inspirational book must be Fisher's Reminiscences. Especially the 1st edition.
Best wishes,
Tony.
Bruce Haak's The Hunting Falcon takes some beating for anyone taking up game hawking, as a manual.
Gamehawking at its very Best is by far the best read.
Hawkins Fisher and Michell are my other favourites.
'Do let her have it Fisher!'
Love it,
Nick
Hi Rylan,
Get a copy of John Swifts Bibliotheca Accipitraria. There you will find all the books you need.

There are two seasons, falconry season and art season.
Being completely new to falconry - it seems most of the books recommended were directed towards a specific bird, equipment, etc.
Are any of the above books, or a different book perhaps, that any of you would recommend as an all-around good introduction book for falconry? Even if it lacks a bit of depth in each subject, I'd like to find something that covers a bit of everything with some descent illustrations.
