"The book will appeal to a very wide audience, from those wishing to increase their knowledge and collection of waterfowl, to those wanting to start keeping them and those wishing to know some of the utility qualities as well. This book is a basic guide, not a standards book, and it will help waterfowl enthusiasts establish the difference between similar breeds."
