I see you've got a thread about getting your first lurcher, so I guess you'd be after more training books than hunting books?

Jackie Drakeford writes some good training books and a definte buy should be a book by a member on here, Skycat. http://www.skycatpublications.com/ It'll teach you everything you'll need to know about caring for a Lurcher.

Although I've never seen it, the DVD Purdeys Progress is supposed to be very good, again it's about training a Lurcher.

For hunting experience's and story's then J. Darcy writes a decent book though they can be expensive so try and buy second hand if possible.

 

All the best

I agree about Pennys book, a must for any owner of running dogs, although i think Jackie Drakeford books are poor, and the comment about trying to buy Darcys books secondhand, mate the very nature of the limited edition means prices only go up

Plummer books are full of bull sh*t

[Romany 1,065]

Plummers books for me..

[Guest Josy]

I havnt read a plummer book since I was a boy, but remember the ones i read being a good read.

I can't praise Penny enough for her book. I've only read one of Jackie's books but although fairly short, I still found it fairly informative (plus they can be picked up pretty cheap on ebay etc.). As for price, I don't mind paying it ( in fact have just bought the new j. Darcy one!) but was just thinking for a lad just starting out, £40 is a lot to pay for a book. Never meant any harm by it....
