"A Falconry Manual, Beebe", Frank L. Hancock House, 1984. 197 pages, paperback, $16.95. A good book on the different types of birds used in falconry and falconry equipment, care and attention, training, and hunting.

"The Falconer's Apprentice: A Guide to Training the Passage Red-Tailed Hawk", William C. Oakes. 120 pages, $11.95. An excellent book to prepare the novice for the training and hunting with their red-tailed hawk.

"A Rage For Falcons", Bodio, Stephen. Pruett Publishing. Boulder, Colorado. 135 pages. paperback, $12.95. An excellent book describing the joys and sorrows of being a falconer.

A more expensive and more thorough book which is what the falconry examination is based upon is:

"North American Falconry and Hunting Hawks", Beebe, Frank L., Harold M. Webster, seventh edition 1994, 465 pages, $65.00

For people in the UK I would recommend the following book. As I have been told that this is the bible for UK falconers.

"Falconry and Hawking", Phillip Glasier, 350 pages, $46.50.

All of these books can be obtained from the bookstores listed in the appendices.
