TRAINING SPANIELS. By Joe Irving.

# (1980) 2000s reprint. 8vo (142 x 224mm). Pp176. B/w photographs and illustrations. Blue or cream boards, spine titled in gilt.

# The author "describes in refreshingly clear style what you have to do to possess a first-class gundog". As much about training the trainer as the dog, an excellent, practical book which has gained a large following and run to many reprints in the last fifteen years. Essential reading which should find a place on any rural bookshelf.
