I have really enjoyed reading this book. I wish I would have read it long ago even as an apprentice. There are some real nuggets of wisdom in this book I find so much of what he writes applicable to my falconry techniques today. Things I have learned the hard way and techniques I have picked up over time so many of them are written within the pages of this book. He really understood the art and practice of falconry I think. I think he must have been a great falconer. A good read and not expensive if you get a reprint on amazon like I did.
