bigliks 601 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 The first in a series of books filled to the brim with running dog history, the likes of which can not, nor will not, ever be repeated. Seventeen lurcher men are featured within this high-quality hardback as they discuss their life and their dogs. At over 260 pages long this colourful publication has hundreds of old, old photographs as well as some more recent ones of quarry being coursed as seen through Darcy’s lense. Never before has a book covered so much running dog history, anecdotes and stories of our fleet footed friends. Kipper, Kenny Hall, Tony Howley, Jimmy Ford, Juddy Potter, Chalkie White and many more are featured within. With over 70,000 words, you’ll be occupied for some time reading this thick volume. This is one of a series, so be sure not to miss it! Others to follow soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,446 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Civilisations have allways been judged by their literature and books. The heathens and dictators have burnt books; from the Roman times to Hitler, and the Communists, to keep the people uninformed !! The Labour Government banned Coursing, and would like it erased from history; but as long as books like this are written, with interviews and pictures that are from the recent LEGAL past, then the next generation of coursers will be aware of what we had and continue to fight for the repeal of an unjust and wrong Law !!! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed even better if more copies are printed and its dosent become rare. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see all the relevent posts since my last visit, skim over the stuff I'm not interested in and click on any post that has relevence to your interests. HTH. PS. That's how I saw your post.

Mixed Bag 603 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 a good read well worth the money your dad makes some good observations on the fast dog/slow dog thing he knows his stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 its a hunting related book so its in the hunting books section, if it was a strong stuff slip lead or midnight knife it would be in the craft and diy section, ferrets in the ferret section ect. if you want to discuss people/dogs in the book then a post about these people/dogs in the running dog discussion section would be appropriate.

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm more into terriers than lurchers, but I get every book that is released and this book is a good read. Well worth the coin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,446 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for your reply and explanation. I, personaly, would have thought that a post that would have generated replies about Lurchers, Coursing, and top class dog owners, would have been better placed in a forum were it would be most read !! I.E. "Lurchers & Running Dogs" ! If you want to be dogmatic and keep it in a rarley read forum, that is your perogative as a Moderator. But you should be aware that some forums are read by FAR more members than other forums ! I appreciate the job you do as a Moderater, especialy as a NEW Mod, but perhaps you could take a leaf out of other Mods books, such as Simo and Bosun, and not be so dogmatic and possibly use a bit more common sense ? # Quote Link to post Share on other sites
