rex 8 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Mr darcy is renowned for his photography skills and as it's a limited print of 1000 copies I'm sure you will be happy with that price when you want to sell it Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Well guys, i am always interested in constructive critisism and this has all been taken on board. I have to say that the next book on the hare will have at least 4 times as many pages of text in it. This first one was done as a photographic celebration of the hare. However, if anyone thinks the book is not what they bought they can keep it for a year and i will buy it back off them if they so wish next autumn. I can't say fairer than that. So that's the coursing book for a year to read and then it can be returned 'in reasonable condition' for the money back. It is quite difficult to please everyone and i understand that the book may not be everyones cup of tea, but rest assured the next few books will be big 'ol volumes with lots of text. One i am on with at present is already 17000 words and still not even a third completed. Stick with me chaps, i hope to improve. Good Hunting.JD Quote Link to post

boyo 1,398 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 i have a massive collection of running dog books and firmly believe this book will be very much sought after and coveted in years to come . bit like standfast press coursing not a book you read cover to cover but beautiful book to own and digest every now and again .
