POLLARD, Hugh B.C. & Phillis BARCLAY-SMITH. British and American Game-Birds. With a Chapter on Shooting in America by Eugene V. Connett. Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1945.
Royal 4to. Original cloth and wrapper; x + pp. 48, with 20 coloured plates of game-birds by Philip Rickman; a little sunning to wrapper, very good.
First edition. This is a book printed as a celebration of wildfowl. As the author puts it in his introduction: "If you have a lake, or even a good sized pond, it is much easier to breed wildfowl than is usually realised, and it is not a hobby which need clash with your demand for shooting."
