About this title

From Library Journal:

During the last 60 years, the life-size decoys used to lure North American waterfowl and shorebirds within range of hunters' guns have become desirable collectibles. This third guide by these experienced collectors is a good companion to their recent Decoys (Collector Bks., 1992). But while that book describes decoys by the type of bird, this book emphasizes general collecting information such as methods of making decoys, ways to recognize fakes, buying at auction, and a survey of styles by region and maker. The appendixes list restorers, books, auction houses, clubs and shows, and museums. Like others in this series, this is a good choice for public libraries serving collectors.
