This Dutch language book covers the development of the Capuchin. It was printed in 1993, and in some ways is a tribute to Henk Moezelaar, the modern father of the breed. It is a collaborative work by many breeders, including a couple of pieces in English, including the article Layne Gardner, America's Capuchin champion.

There have been many re-issues of the classic work by the most prolific French writer about pigeons. It is the French equivalent of a beginner’s pigeon book, covering all the necessities for successful breeding, including description of the more common breeds found there and how they should look.

This Spanish book, well all Spanish books on pigeons, is very difficult to find in America. Thankfully, it is very helpful in gaining an understanding of the breeds because it is choc full of photographs, while the text provides information about the many Spanish and Portuguese breeds along with current standards.

This is a very nice small frame book, just a little over 5x7 providing information of the breeds and how the sport is practiced in the Netherlands. There are a few color photographs, but the majority are in black and white. There is a very good picture of the trap style used there, which is clear enough to copy should one so desire. And yes, the Dutch have some beautiful pigeons.

This is without a doubt the most complete modern work about pigeon breeds. While Levi's work of nearly 50 years ago has still not been upstaged in the English language, this one really does. A bit unusual, but the newer work published in 1994 has no peer. At 718 pages it is the modern day bible. The earlier copy has many black and white photographs and is also very good, particularly if you are interest in following the development of the breeds, but really can't compare favorable to the new version.
