"This new edition of A Manual of Falconry has been brought up to date with regard to the recent history of falconry in the United Kingdom, the fortunes of the British Falconers' Club and the changes in the legislation that have taken place since the book was first published in 1960. New material, including a section on seagull-hawking and a chapter on broad-winged hawks, both the result of much practical experience gained in recent years, has been contributed by one of Britain's most active falconers, Roger Upton. Roger has also redrawn many of the diagrams with great clarity. Some new photographs have been included. The section on diseases has been updated by John Cooper." Chapters include:- Choice of hawk; Furniture and appliances; General considerations; Long-winged hawks or true falcons - kestrel and merlin; Long-winged hawks or true falcons (continued) - peregrine; Game hawking; Rook-hawking, magpie-hawking and seagull-hawking; Short-winged true hawks - goshawk and Harris hawk; A miscellany: health, transport, food, the moult, disease and accidents, lost hawks; Conclusion. Various useful appendices include:- Glossary, Vocabulary; Falconry clubs of the world; Game licences and shooting-hawking seasons for game; Bibliography; Useful addresses; Weights of trained hawks. Jack Mavrogordato contributed several sections of the book, including those on rook and magpie-hawking as well as a section on Barbary and Lanner falcons at game. "I think if I ever wanted to be a falconer, I would wish for no better book to guide me than Michael Woodford's. The book is rich in meat: full of rare and savoury words: bursting at the seams with knowledge of the subject. One can sense the research, as one can see the practical, kenning hand."
