top hat 127 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Regardless of what anyone thinks of Darcy his books are the best written on working lurchers and terriers so far. course they are cause other people wrote nearly all the chapters for him Quote Link to post
sthelens hunter 73 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 i bet the people who think £40 is to much for a book would not think twice about spending that much down the pub Quote Link to post
whippet 99 2,613 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 i bet the people who think £40 is to much for a book would not think twice about spending that much down the pub your most probably right , but not in my case, im not knocking johnathan , just saying i would love to read his (anyones) books , but i dont justify the money and i cant really afford to. some one off this site offered me a swap of my lithium battery worth £160 in the for sale section for mr darcys signed limited book of dogs and deer . jesus paddy doesnt take a genius to work out what goes on in this buisness. if this is now what the book is worth im sure mr darcy will have a few spare for his friends to get rid of, now the value of this limited edition book is sky high and i dont blame him i would do the same. wonder how many he has on ebay his self . fetching mega bucks . fair play- the big rush to get one of these rare books , now were out of stock . there now worth mega bucks and the rest of the batch comes out to be sold at £100 plus. mr darcy your a genius 1 Quote Link to post

mackel 31 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 have always said the same about limited editions its all about the money there was a big gap in lurchers and terrier game all the same and some past ones where terrible but he can write with less bulshit than others i think shame about the prices cant see why he does not bring out second editions if he was not happy with way over the top prices some books go if it was me i would bring out second and third editions of books which might discourage people buying his books simply for profit on his back .i think his books would be great for young lads learning their trade at hunting shame they cant afford them mack Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,666 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 There good books & the pics are great. But it has bought some unwanted attension!!! What "unwanted attention" have Darcy's books brought ? Cheers. Quote Link to post
brambles 3,249 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I tend to agree about Darcys books of late, of dogs and deer I got for a Christmas present and thought it was a lot of pi*h apart from the photos, in fact I didn't even read the last two chapters, personally I think that the last two limited editions have been grossly over rated especially for the price 1 Quote Link to post
patterdalejoel 669 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 for all of you saying go out and do it yourself, we are not all this lucky to be born into it, have freinds that do it, or willing to break the law to do it now, so silly statement. Quote Link to post

DOGGINLAD 538 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Some of his best books are only £9 + £1p+p lol think some of use need to get a job 1 Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,324 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I don't think anyone is being forced into buying one of JD's books so if you have a problem with him or his books the simple solution is don't buy them! Take them for what they are! A bit of dog craic to read and pass a few hours in-between doing more important chores..the guy can certainly write of that there is no doubt? Are his books the best out there? Personally at this moment in time I'd say they probably are? That old saying "you can please some of the people most of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time" certainly rings true here lol. ATB Andy 2 Quote Link to post
