Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Edited by Noel M. Sedgwick, Peter Whitaker and Jeffery Harrison. Foreword by H.R.H. The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., K.T. Introduction by the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Mansfield. Preface by Peter Scott, C.B.E. 350 pages, colour and b/w illustrations by Peter Scott including frontispiece plate, colour and b/w photos. Original dust jacket very good, with a little toning to edges. Hard-back binding, very good. Contents clean and tight, no inscriptions. A very good copy. From the front flap of the jacket: "The New Wildfowler on the 1970's preserves all the valuable features of the earlier volume, though all has been carefully revised and brought fully up-to-date, and presents a great deal of entirely new material and a fresh set of splendid illustrations. It is the work of some thirty experts, writing under the auspices of the Wildfowlers' Assoiation of Great Britain and Ireland (WAGBI) and provides a wealth of information and practical advice which cannot fail to improve the skill and increase the enjoyment of every keen sportsman. But the book is also one that belongs as much on the shelf of the naturalist as on that of the shooter; its important chapters concerned with wildfowl conservation, observation and habitat are of the deepest interest. These show the great progress that has been made in recent years, the result of successful co-operation between the sportsman and naturalist. With 63 photographs, nine colour plates, many maps, diagrams and tables." Size: 8vo. Book. …

Red cloth, spine titled in black. Slight fading to spine, slight browning but very good. Lacks dust-wrapper. Noel Sedgwick was the editor of The Shooting Times and begin this book with material he wrote for this paper. "As Editor of this journal, and as a member of various committees allied to sport, I am naturally in a very favourable position to observe and to understand many matters which may not be altogether clear to the 'ordinary reader'. In this respect, and while giving away nothing of a confidential nature, I have devoted one chapter to the vexed question of wildfowl protection, for I feel most strongly that every sportsman, whether he is a wildfowler or not, should be made aware of the very real dangers to his interests. Apart from this chapter, I have endeavoured to write on those very ordinary subjects which I believe will interest the great majority of shooting men, rather than a section of them. There is little in this book about organised shooting (or large bags), except as it affects those who occasionally shoot as guests and those who love dog work, especially that concerning picking-up at organised shoots. Every shooting man is, or should be, an amateur naturalist, enjoying to the full his environments and the wild life he sees, and being able to identify the more common birds, interpreting their voices and movements to his own benefit. For that reason, a certain amount of natural history will be found among the chapters on shooting." Chapters include: Working for your game; Wildfowl protection; Shooting field problems; Bane of the keeper; Rabbits and rabbiting; Side-lights on hares; Pigeon shooting small days; Round and about; Very rough shooting; From my diary; Natural history casebook; Pastures new. .…

Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Minor faults, slight stains / dents / marks to cloth, slight use and browning to end-papers and edges. Good, lacks dust-wrapper. Noel Sedgwick was the editor of the Shooting Times for many years. In this volume he gives much good advice about wildfowling and rough shooting, with many anecdotes of his own experiences. The era saw position of the wildfowler and his quarry deteriorate, in part because of the war itself, and in part because of post-war reconstruction and the 'modernisation' which was just getting under way. Practical and interesting from a number of angles.
