This completely illustrated book thoroughly covers the bird decoys
of the American Mid-Atlantic region. The photographs are clear,
allowing the reader to identify details. Woven through the text are
historical facts that help date hand-made decoys of antique, as well
as modern, origin. There is an explanation of how weights are used
in decoys and how condition affects value. After a full discussion
of the decoys, Mr. Fleckenstein includes suggestions on repairing
decoys, a complete list of makers, and recommended reading.
