I've read the same. I still have no reference as to what a good one typically looks like when young. It's okay though, because this is the learning period that makes a new breed fun.

Size and type comes first over color so I would first look for the best looking birds in size and type then color. One thing to look for in color at this age is ones with to much markings is better than ones with to little markings.

These are pictures out of my 1969 edition, if anyone out there has any editions of the 50's or 70's and would like to sell them let me know. You can PM me what you want for it.
