Is This Book Worth It?

It seems the forum had changed the url to something else.

Thank you. I had not seen that.

Is this book worth it?

I've usually found Storey Publication books useful, but am wondering a little because it's almost 10 years old and the price for a hardcopy is a little steep.

(I usually like reference books in hardcopy because you can't easily flip through an ebook looking for that half-remembered page where the info you need is).

I have this book and I think it's a useful reference (though not the only one I have...I'm the bookish sort ). Generally speaking, I like Storey's Guides and own several covering different types of livestock. Gail Damerow has authored many books as well as articles for numerous publications and she knows poultry.

I bought mine used for a good price, on eBay, I think. Might be worth checking there, too, if you haven't already.

It is a fun to have book in your hand. I also store my own hatching notes in it, but I do not write or underline in my book. I don't look at it every hatch, but it is nice to have in your library.

X2 - I buy used books and dislike writing, highlighting, or stains in or on them. Books should be treated with the respect they deserve, IMO.

Reading a physical book is a completely different experience from reading an e-book, from a visual, olfactory, and tactile perspective.

I'm different. One of the reasons I'm considering a hardcopy is that I could highlight it and make notes in it.
