Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Very good in dust-wrapper. Frequently recommended by my customers as a straightforward and very useful guide to training labrador retrievers to the gun. "The amateur who undertakes the training of a dog must be an enthusiast. .This is a book written by an amateur for amateurs, although I hope my professional friends may get a little quiet amusement out of it. It is written while the difficulties of training are fresh in my mind - the professional has often forgotten the difficulties that troubled him in the early days. It sometimes wanders from the strict path of training - but after all this is how training should go - and I have tried to introduce a little humour. Whether I have written about a serious subject in a light manner or a light subject in a serious manner, I leave to the reader to decide." A detailed and wholly realistic book.
