While falconry has been around for thousands of years, the sheer number of books\u00a0available\u00a0has never been greater. Each year more falconry books come into print. Some are very broad and\u00a0general\u00a0while others are species specific. Below is a guide to the basic books we recommend for those hoping to join the sport of falconry. The books listed here will help\u00a0familiarize\u00a0you with the sport and help you prepare for the falconry exam. If you are looking for a more extensive list, you can click here to see what NAFA<\/a>, Western Sporting<\/a>, and Mike’s Falconry Supplies<\/a> suggest. <\/p>\n

With 100s of falconry books available for purchase, some of them costing thousands of dollars, we’ve made a list of basic books that are low-cost for entry level reading. All of these should be readily available as new and used, and therefore not be marked at too high a price.<\/p>\n
