Also included are chapters on European decoys, how they were made, and how to go about collecting them. In addition there’s a list of public collections of decoys, a detailed bibliography, a record of top auction prices, maps of waterfowl flyways, and a thorough index. Photographs by Bill Buckner; introduction by Robert Shaw.
