Description
Very RARE and hard-to-find book on Pigeon Racing! This is a First Edition of this book!
Pigeon Racing is a nationwide sport with no fewer than a quarter of a million participants. Yet it makes little impact on the rest of the community. Everyone knows of it, but little is known about it. This book reveals the reasons for the compulsive attractiveness of those competitors taking part, for their total commitment, and the rewards, which can run to the riches for those who succeed.
There are chapters on how the sport of Racing Pigeons has developed, Life in the loft; training; race day; breeding and feeding; how to start; the great names. These different aspects are discussed and make a complex and very technical subject comprehensible to those without prior Knowledge of the sport or its organization.
Sold as-is.
