| MövchenTauben International: Owls Frills
Turbits: Werner Assmus |
 |
This is a very nice German language book about the history (and more) of Turbits and Owls up through 1979 when the book was published. Even if one can't read German, the pictures tell a very solid story about the breed. Many of the later photographs are in printed in color, but since many of the older photographs were taken in black and white that is the way they are here. |

 |
 |
This paperback was published in 1920, but other than the paper tanning is in excellent condition. It is published, and written in German as one would expect, in Germany. There are many photographs of the varies form of Berlin Tumblers, and it is clear that they were flying breeds. The font is very unusual and artistic. A great "read" even for those of us that do not know German. |

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 a smaller version of the German Lexicon (Encyclopedia) of pigeons. It is 192 pages of great color photographs, and very well indexed. That makes it, even for those of us that can't read German, a very valuable tool. It is laid out very similar to Levi's classics, Encyclopedia of Pigeons. It also has a very extensive bibliography of German works and a few others such as Ludlow’s but oddly enough, Levi's classic on which this appears to be modeled is not among them. A very nicely published book, and a bargain at twice the price. |

| Lexikon der Tauben: Hans-Joachim Schille |
|
Germany is probably the most prolific country when it comes to text about pigeons. There are so many great German pigeon books it is near impossible to name them all. Some new, some old. This book is as the title says a dictionary of pigeons and is very much like Levi's Encyclopedia of Pigeon Breeds in layout style. It is nearly completely in color with a short description of the breed, in German of course, with a great photo for the breeds covered. And these are not just photos taken inside judging cages. We get photos from the top German Photographers Josef Wolters, and Thomas Hellmann. I am not sure of the publication date, but it is a fairly recent work. |

This blue bound issue is nearly identical except this issue does not have the bound in Dragoon plate and a previous owner has pasted in what appears to be the the color picture from the front of the jacket cover pasted on front inside cover and the end remarks on the inside back cover. Beyound the fading of the cover as seen on the scan, this book is in excellent condition and in better overall condition than the issue with the red cover. |
