hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket has minor shelf wear, binding tight, light foxing to endpages and jacket flaps, pages clean and unmarked. The World of Falconry joins a beautifully illustrated European treatise on the sport by Schlegel and Wulverhorst with a fascinating introduction to falconry as practiced today in Arabia.

The introduction to Arabian falconry will be a revelation to many North Americans and the unusual photographs have all the romance and charm of One Thousand and One Nights. This study is certainly among the most beautiful and comprehensive ever published, and will be treasured not only by falconers but by all who love birds and nature.…
