SUCCESS WITH CHICKENS: THE 'WHAT, WHERE AND WHY' OF TROUBLE-FREE CHICKEN-KEEPING. By J.C. Jeremy Hobson.

2012 1st edition. Square paperback. Pp176. Colour photographs. French-fold card covers. ("Success" mis-spelled on spine).

"This practical guide incorporates much of the author's forty years of experience as a chicken-keeper, as well as taking advantage of the knowledge and experience of other enthusiasts." Chapters include: Which came first...?; Why keep chickens?; Where to keep chickens; What chickens?; Preparation, purchase and practice; Healthy and happy; Breeding, incubation and rearing; A little bit of showing off; Fowl facts and fancies. This print-run (which is the true first edition, first printing) is a publishers' reject, owing to the word "success" being mis-spelled "sucess" on the spine. This mis-spelling is confined to the spine only, and in all other respects the book is as it should be.
