Decent General Catalog.......2006-06-30
As standard catalogs go, the Scott series is fine for most people. There are still some questionable decisions on the numbering system, but that has always been true with Scott. And I still can't fully accept their decision to list "semi-postal" issues in a seperate section. Also, don't expect to find detailed listings of varieties. Anyone who is interested in a specific country (or topic) will already know to look for one of the specialised catalogs covering that area. A major improvement is the addition of color images throughout the series. This makes identification easier if the stamp is illustrated, but given the flood of issues over the past few decades, chances are that you'll still have to look to the design descriptions to track things down.

Book Description
Taking a trophy gamebird is always a special moment for a hunter. To preserve forever that memory of a special day afield, many hunters like to have their trophy gamebird mounted.

Ø The importance of proper field care.
Ø Anatomy, as accurate reference, is critical for quality duplication
Ø Tools and materials, detailing the best possible tools for the job
Ø Methods of preservation, including dry preservative and tanning
Ø Preparing a fan and cape.
Ø Mounting a flying bird and mounting a strutting bird
Ø Choosing a head, and painting the head and feet
THE COMPLETE GUIDE TOTURKEY TAXIDERMY takes you through each step of the process, providing everything you need to know to start working. No taxidermist should be without this instructive reference guide.

Outdated!.......2007-01-15
This could have well be a good book in its day, but its day is long since gone! The methods are almost all outdated.....reads more like a history book than a "how to do" book. If you feel you must have it, buy the cheapest used one that you can find.
This taught me how to stuff my dead pet squirrel Curly.......2005-01-13
For years I had three pet squirrels. I named them after the original Three Stooges - Moe, Larry, and Curly. Sadly, my squirrel Curly died. I consider this quite ironic since the real Curly was the first of the Three Stooges to die.
Anyways, I wanted to stuff Curly (my squirrel, not the Stooge) so I bought this here book. I stuffed (or taxidermied, if you prefer the technical term) him up real good.
It's great - Moe and Larry still get to play with Curly when they want to. It's fun for them, but sometimes they get a little confused when Curly doesn't play back. It's not that they're dumb - they're just squirrels. They have tiny little brains and don't understand things as good as we humans do.
Losing my squirrel Curly was very sad, but thanks to what I learned from this book, he's sort of still alive. Well, not really, but at least he sort of looks like he's still alive.
I know I'll use this fantastic book again when it comes time to stuff Moe and Larry (and my new squirrel Shemp.)
outdated.......2000-02-27
The book is very basic. It would be almost impossible to create a quality mount using this book. Also, the book was first published in 1967 and the methods are outdated. Today, almost all mounts are done using preformed polyurethane foam manikins.
alot of knowledge,step by step,easy to learn........1999-10-18
the book is not only good for the beginner,but also those who have been doing taxidermy for years.it covers all aspects of taxidermy,from small game,snakes,to big GAME.so if you are interested in learning,this book is by far a great learning tool,and a must in every taxidermists library.

Taxing but still good.......2002-11-13
Taxidermy is an under-appreciated art, and this book helped me learn something about it. As someone once perceptively observed, the difference between a gigolo and taxidermist is the order in which the mounting vs. the stuffing occurs. After reading this book, you will never get these two confused ever again.
The only problem now is that since my two cats and my black Lab retriever saw this book, they now hide behind the furniture and under my bed whenever they see me coming. Oh well, if they don't lighten up pretty soon maybe they will have something to worry about.
