I have absorbed what is in there. There are few chapters especially on feeding and training youngsters which I read couple of times and it was really helpful. This book helps me a lot when I started in rollers few years ago.
Thanks, -Rauf

That's a book I've thought about buying. Does the top bid take it or are you looking for a minimum?

Darin, can I can just give you a bit of insight. You will see from the book that it was first released in 1989, then updated in the mid 1990s. It's no longer available on the shelves of bookstores. Graham sold the whole stock which he had some years ago to financially help the widow of one of our well-known flyers (his mate) who died prematurely. You will see him in there - George Kitson.
Graham told me he would love to get around to updating the book once again, but has other more pressing commitments. As you read the book, I think you will see he generously gives a lot of space to his many interviewees - prolific flyers of the time - some which are no longer with us and some which still are. You will see how diverse the opinions are, but hopefully you will also appreciate the English side of the roller history.
And if you don't understand some of the English vernacular within the book, give me a shout and I'll translate!

Shaun,
Thanks a bunch! I'm looking forward to receiving it and reading it. It's like I can't get enough to study up on these little birds. It doesn't help that I love to read, makes it hard to keep myself in literature as I go through it so fast. I have to read a lot of things twice which is good anyways. I didn't know it was out of print. Apparently there are enough copies that places like Foy's still sells it. Anyway, thanks again for the offer and I may take you up on it.
Darin
