Customer Reviews

Out of print book order

I was very pleased with the book when I received it, and ordered another one, later. I was also glad for the "bookkeeping" info. that was included with the delivery.

Durden's "Gifts of an Eagle" too good to be out of print.

Kent Durden's "Gifts of an Eagle" was a rare find at the Public Library, and one of those books you want to own once you've read it. There is something about "Lady", the eagle that Kent and his father raised, that reveals a personality, a wild conciousness that was quite marvelous to witness "firsthand". Kent and his father got a liscense from the state of California to capture and raise this golden eagle, (something I doubt is even possible any more, which makes this a piece of history too.) For anyone who loves eagles, you will never get a more personal experience than this. Although out of print, this excellent book can still be found with a little digging.
