lat 29 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Each to your own, but if you think they are to expensive don't buy them. I've got most of them and I enjoyed them, thought some of the photography was brilliant. If I thought they were expensive I wouldn't buy them but I wouldn't come on here to moan about them either 1 Quote Link to post
brambles 3,249 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The earlier books were decent, ie running dog addiction, dig deep throw well back but the one called the hare and swift hound I was really disappointed in it was just a feckin photo album, and of dogs and deer it just seemed to be full of self opinionated pi*h, Quote Link to post
Guest Josy Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I thought Of Dogs and Deer was a good read, but what do I know compared to most on here! 1 Quote Link to post
leegreen 2,173 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. That's because most lurcher and terrier people can't read and write proper. You've only got to look at some of the posts on here . 1 Quote Link to post
jarv5116 57 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think there to expensive, I wouldnt pay £40 for few shite dits and chad pics. I think this shite limited edition is just a money racket. And his next limited edition coursing book will prob be pushing £50-£60 Jmo 1 Quote Link to post
lurcher330 2,297 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I am not into reading books ,but i got a loan of dig deep of a friend of mine and have to say since that i have been hooked on Darcy's books; Recently i have bought of dogs and deer, scooby and now thats what i call terrier work,and have being impressed with the lot of them ,and while i was ordering them i ordered David Harcombs the world of the working terrier,and know while it's on my mind i'm gona order running dog addiction and the Nick Stevens book. Fairplay to these lads that put these books together because i have enjoyed them Quote Link to post
blackstaff 488 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Have people nothing better to do than come on here and gripe about something someone has tried to do to make a few quid ? If you had the inclination and drive to put a book together yourself then imo your in a position to gripe about another man's work. Untill that moment then why bother ? Don't buy his books, put the money in your fuel tank instead to do your research and write your own books. Then come on here and read people's flippant comments on your work. Everyone's a winner 1 Quote Link to post
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The original price of the deer book would get me about 100 miles worth of fuel. I bought the book and enjoyed it. I like JD, he's cute. 1 Quote Link to post
BLACKWATER... 157 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 i think he fills aviod were plummer left of in a more modern sense ,but as for real knowledge there well down the line ,there an openin for a good book like the holy grail on lurchers but only a few could write it as you have to live at the game and travel to gain expierence ,its a shame the ban came as he started getting into the book writing maybe more intresting to old hands at the game , Quote Link to post
LIKKIY LIKKIY LA LA 9 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Some good books, but still prefer d harcombes for style and terriers. each give a totally different style of book, so both worth a read. the lurcher ones were ok. never read dogs and deer. Quote Link to post
kanigra 110 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 There good books & the pics are great. But it has bought some unwanted attension!!! What "unwanted attention" have Darcy's books brought ? Cheers. Think about it!!! Quote Link to post
Guest Josy Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Kanigra I dont think its brought no more unwanted attention than is already on running lurchers. 1 Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,666 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have thought about it,, that's why I asked the question. Do Darcy's books bring more "unwanted attention" than say, Plummers or Drakefords books, or do you think ALL Lurcher books bring unwanted attention ? Cheers. Quote Link to post
