This special reprinted edition of Hugh Piper's "Pigeons: Their Varieties, Breeding, Management and Diseases" has not been available to the average pigeon enthusiast since the late 19th Century. First published in 1886, this new special edition of Piper's historic work offers a treasury of information on Domestic Pigeons and how to breed and keep them. Included are details on the keeping of many varieties of Fancy Pigeons, such as Fantails, Trumpeters, Pouters, Frills and others, as well as insights into the early history of racing pigeons. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
