About the Author

He owns the Gamekeeping Photographic Archive and the David S. D. Jones Photographic Collection. He is the author of the widely acclaimed Sporting Lodges: Sanctuaries, Havens and Retreats (978-1-84689-168-7) with J. C. Jeremy Hobson and Gamekeeping: An Illustrated History (978-1-84689-189-2).
Review
The entire shooting life is covered here. Well-sourced images enliven the content, with old and new photographs, illustrations, excerpts and game cards. Those who take to the field ought to have more than a vague idea about the history of their sport before they stand with gun in hand. And a copy of Jones's book is a great place to start.
This is a book not only for sportsmen as such but also for anyone interested in the countryside or wildlife as the history is a reflection of what is currently happening in the countryside today.
Having come across David Jones's previous book, Gamekeeping: An Illustrated History, I was keen to read this one. I was certainly not disappointed. I'm sure that anyone with an interest in game shooting or history would be more than happy to find this in their stocking.
