Customer Reviews

Informative and lovely to look at

Why paint ducks when a photograph will do? The answer is in this book's beautiful illustrations, which accompany the excellent text. The book informs in a readable and friendly way, and there's nothing dull about it: if you just want to browse among the ducks and appreciate their variety and beauty, you will also be rewarded. A very nice production all round.

Beautifully illustrated reference book on ducks

Trevor Boyer's beautiful and accurate illustrations make this book a must-have for anyone researching the physical attributes of various North American waterfowl. John Gooders writes well; the book is an easy and enjoyable read and not at all dry as one might find in other reference books. The only minor problem I have with it is that the birds are not presented in alphabetical order, making it a little tedious to locate them in the table of contents.
