Interesting review?

I find it interesting that Robert Plamondon didn't like this book. Perhaps it's because he is the editor of a competing book which is recommended above instead of this one?I haven't read this book, I'm trying to decide if I want to. It is recommended by Murray McMurray Hatchery.

Free Range Poultry, by Katie Thear

This is a very comprehensive book written especially for those who are interested in getting started with free-range poultry. Although the author is British and writes for the British market, she still includes much information that is specific to regulations here in the US. Breeds; housing needs; land management; feeding; poultry management; eggs; table birds; breeding and rearing birds; showing birds; marketing; commong problems and diseases. The problems and diseases section could be a little more detailed, but for those just interested in learning about this way of raising poultry, they could easily take what they learn here and then have the knowledge to look for disease management books with more information. I highly recommend this book! :^)
