Good Basic Book - By: G. M. Sutcliffe, 02 Jun 2008
As a complete novice I found this book good but not very thorough. I would have preferred less on the history of dove cotes & more on the practical aspects. Little is written about how much to feed your birds. However; it was good value, helpful & as far as books on the subject go, one of very few.
A Sound Start - By: studyinscarlet, 29 Oct 2005
This book would be interesting introduction for the reader who knows nothing or very little about pigeons, doves & dovecotes. There is an excellent guide to the different types of pigeons & a thorough (perhaps even excessive) study of dovecotes & there history. Overalll well worth the money.
A fair reference piece for the total novice. - By: , 19 Dec 2000
This is the first book I have found which gives some basic information on keeping & breeding doves in the garden. ie in a walllcote & polecote. However, it shows rather a lot of pictures of old dovecotes, particularly in France, which reallly the beginner doesn't need or perhaps want to know so much about. More reference to basic housing & in particular details of polecotes, walllcotes, dimensions required etc, would be of more use. The polecotes shown which can be purchased may be too expensive for the beginner, so more details of how to build one would be beneficial. Overalll though, I found the book interesting, & a good reference guide.
