A colourful and original style of Poultry book.
|

There are many disappointing books on Poultry and "The Fancy" However, this certainly is not one of them. It is original in it's photography, which really makes the book what it is, a MUST for Poultry enthusiasts and interesting for others too. Although this is not a particularly factual book, it more than makes up for it by it's enjoyable pictures.

THE Chicken-Fanciers Pin-Up Book of All Time!
|
|
Most books on chickens are technical, with perhaps a few, blurred snaps of birds taken by the author on a winter's day in the back yard. With "Extraordinary Chickens" - prepare for your eyes to stretch wide and your jaw to drop! This is VOGUE-style photography at its very best (how DID they manage to get these birds to pose so beautifully in the studio?). Every feather of every chicken is there in glorious, lush detail - from traditional farm-yard favourites to REALLY extraordinary exotics. There are photographic 'studies' too, with close-up montages of different feather patterns, of different foot and comb formations; whole 'clouds' of chicks of various breeds; and comical joint portraits of tiny, wiry types next to enormous, fluffy 'puff-ball' varieties. This is an extraordinarily beautiful and amusing book, at a very good price, and one which even non-chicken fanciers would find hard to resist buying. Clucking good!
