1. best book ever very interesting and intriguing ....very clear and interesting.. i new of the man personally so it was a pleasure to read the book



2. Reading this collection of special hunting stories so deftly illustrated was a joy. The breadth of the collection encompasses many different periods in hunting lore and offers the reader the enjoyment of reading about hunting from those whose perspectives differed as greatly as did their writing styles. Mr. Mackay-Smith has arranged the collections and illustrations very cleverly, with a sure sense of rythmn and sharp editing skills. A wonderful gift, much treasured.



3. Pedia was a genius; he had the love for the sport and the ability to pass it on, not only to his family and friends, but to anyone who picks up any of his books. He was incredibly talented and dedicated to his work- this book shows the passion that captured him as it does so many of us that truly love the hunt, the hounds, and the horses.

1. As the ultimate dog lover of 3 dogs ( one being a foxhound) and avid reader, I can honestly say that this book lacked information specific to the American Fox Hound. Although the authors / breeders are to be commended for their well researched chapter on " Hunting and history of the fox hound", the entire rest of the book appears to be pure pledgerism on basic dog / puppy facts gathered from another book . Embedded in the narrative discourse of the entire book are wonderful pictures of fox hounds, but the content is plain and repetitive information that can be found in any puppy or dog basic training book . I was disappointed because this is the only book listed by Amazon on Fox Hounds . Too bad there was no content information on temperment or obedience, or statistics rating aspects of this breed. My opinion is to save your money and search online for information on the American Foxhound by surfing the net.



2. In my opinion, this book is worth the price for the history section alone. I have bought other books from this publisher in the past and have not been pleased, and in this case bought the book for the pictures only (which are great!). Either the publisher has raised their standards, or this book is and exception. Much of the material is the same as you would find in any basic dog book, but that is understandable because dog needs are very much the same, regardles of the 'suit' they wear. I wish for more and more in depth information, but for what it is, this book is great.
