A compelling read [that] combines natural history, art, and cultural history in one gloriously illustrated book. This belongs on the shelf of every enthusiast of decoys, folk art, or ornithology.
--Brian Cullity, New England Antiques Journal
A must-have book for all decoy enthusiasts, but also of great value and interest to sportsmen, birders, American history buffs, and folk art enthusiasts. Definitive. ----Stan Van Etten, Editor & Publisher, Hunting & Fishing Collectibles Magazine
Reader Reviews
Recommended especially to those with a new interest in North American decoys, but seasoned collectors will also enjoy the wonderful photography and historic photographs and will pick up nuggets of information from Shaw's text. Many of the decoys illustrated may be familiar to the more hard core collectors, as some have previously been illustrated in other publications or auction catalogs. Regardless, the authors knowledge of the subject, the wonderful illustrations,and the overall format and presentation of the book, coupled with the reasonable cost make this a worthy acquisition to anyone with interest in the subject
