ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2014). 2014 1st English translation. 8vo paperback (159 x 235mm). Ppxviii,152. Colour illustrations. Some shelf wear, cover rather bumped, but a new, unread copy. Signed (in Urdu) by the translator. The poet-solider Khushal Khan Khattak was chief of the Khattaks, a Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan and what is now Pakistan. Khushal Khan Khattak wrote this book in Pashto, the main language of Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, and is one of the greats of Pashto literature. The Book of Falconry is a manual of falconry written in verse, and is here translated into English by Sami ur Rahman. It "is a rare work in verse, surviving from the classical Mughal era. It covers the whole gamut of the field, including trapping, training, manning, colours, types, furniture, hatching, diseases, and medicine. The dark-eyed, known as the long-winged in the West, make for a large part of the text and the species discussed are the saker, the Altai falcon, gyrfalcon, shaheen, peregrine, laggar, and red-headed merlin. Among the yellow-eyed, or the short-winged, it is the goshawk, sparrowhawk, shikra, and besra, etc. Dealing with the subject matter in a concise, compact, and cogent manner, the poet gives the kingly sport an aesthetic and philosophical touch. The style and diction is down-to-earth and easy to follow. Apart from its historical and literary importance, this manual enjoys a great practical value, as some of the basic principles mentioned are as relevant today as they were three and a half centuries ago." Only 500 copies were printed, 450 of which were sold immediately at the book's launch at the Abu Dhabi Falconry Festival. INCORRECT - Sami says 1000 printed. .

"Iain Ogden first began fishing for salmon while studying at Aberdeen University in the early 1970s. As a microbial biochemist in an Aberdeen Fisheries Research Laboratory he bought and renovated an old cottage on the Drum estate where he met and fished regularly with the late Archie Davidson - renowned ghillie on the Middle Drum beat of the Aberdeenshire Dee. The die of pursuing wild salmon with rod and line having been firmly cast he began fishing several times a week on the prestigious waters at Tilbouries and Park as a guest of their owners. Here he was witness to the last of the great spring runs on rivers covered in 'grue' where double figure catches were commonplace; and sporting lairds who gladly shared stories of even greater days when some estate totals repeatedly exceeded 1,000 springers annually. Inevitably, his passion for catching salmon led to the banks of many other Scottish rivers including the Spey, Deveron and Findhorn, and the Alta, Gaula and Orkla in Norway. He has now landed more than 1,000 salmon to his own rod. This book details a personal account of the casts, characters, traditions and wildlife encountered while fishing these classic rivers, and gives a rare insight into the way traditional salmon angling was conducted before the days of breathable waders, baseball caps and mass-marketing." Chapters include: Background; Archie; The three lairds; Tales involving ghillies; Tackle and tactics; Amusing and unusual moments; Special moments; Great catches; Tales from Norway; Adverse weather conditions; Biology and riverside flora and fauna; Sundry stories; Some historical perspectives; Final thoughts; Obituaries: Willie Gunn; Richard Waddington. .
