Rice, Elmer C., Illustrated by: B&W Illustrations
How: The Book with Two Title Pages (How to Get the Most Fun and Money Out of pigeons) or (Fun and Money in Pigeons)
Publisher: Howard Street House Melrose Massachusettes 1943.
Red cloth hardcover in green and yellow dust jacket with squabs in nesting bowl. 512 pages, illustrated in black and white with photos, artwork, etc. One of the most confusing books ever published outside of Ulysses but certainly more entertaining. It's a combination of advertising methods and sales techniques, plus pigeon breeding, plus autobiography, plus self-help, politics, plus wry humor, plus, um, recipes - all kind of mixed together. Rice did write some of the standard books on pigeon rearing including the National Standard Squab Book, but he apparently was trying to appeal to a very broad market here. This volume includes pages on which to finish the title 'How' and submit the suggestions. Oh well - there is hardly any way to describe this thing: you'd have to read it to believe it. There actually is quite a bit on pigeon-rearing (and advertising and marketing) but it's not a beginner how-to on the subject. The book is in near fine condition, with a little rubbing to spine ends. The jacket has suffered the consdequences of time, with a large chip running almost the length of the fore edge, but affecting only part of the 'y' in 'money' in the cover title. Several smaller chips along the top edge. It's pretty rough, but hanging in there - and significant in that the book itself does not bear the full title (just 'How"). Egad.
