Stabs 3 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 "Work them Hard..." for me is the yardstick. Look at the current/recent crop of writers that are out there though. We're spoilt for choice, both in books and also in the magazine. I'd love to see Peter Tulip write more as I always enjoyed his articles in EDRD. Compared to when I was a kid there's a glut of authors these days, some good; some not so good and some outstanding - David Harcombe, Colin Didriksen, Phil Lloyd, Jonathon Darcy, Welsh All Black, John Glover, Dave Bezzant, Sean Frain, Paul Dooley, Patrick Burns, Daniele Piacentini (sp?), Penny Taylor, Suffolk Bill....I could go on. It's rapidly approaching saturation point and in a crowded market only the best will survive and endure. I'll leave it up to you to categorise the names above into good, bad or indifferent. Broadening the subject slightly to lurchers as well as terriers, there's no better raconteur for my money than Lloydy, with Didriksen coming not far behind. And look at the sheer quality that Darcy is producing! I took delivery of the deer book last week and once I cut through the cardboard, I sat at my dining table and flicked through that book in awe of the total package. Truly astonishing. The goalposts keep moving and standards are getting higher and higher for everyone. I haven't seen Phil's new book yet, but a close friend of mine received an early copy and he usually gives the books he receives free to me, but when I spoke to him about this one, I was told "hands off - this is a keeper!" That speaks volumes to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
