I am going to preface that I just purchased both new books edited by Sir Terence Clark (a mundane-world Sir) and have Madra to thank for pointing out sources that have been right under my nose! The SPDBS has a great list of some other books some of you may find helpful in your quests for sighthound lore as well -- ohoo was I feeling blond when I realized they had suggested these books months ago. Their library website can be found at www.desertbred.org. Click on "Enter" and it will take you to the links.
For those interested in the books by Sir Terence, the seller is Aris and Phillips, with the following site containing info on both Al Masur's On Hunting and Dogs in Antiquity: Anubis to Cerebus, the Origins of the Domestic Dog. You can buy them online through David Brown Book Company, http://www.oxbowbooks.com/bookinfo.cfm/ID/31823//Location/DBBC. I also purchased 3 coursing books through Amazon, which promise to have more info on historical coursing, hunts with horse, and even info on falconry which I am dying to partake in! We have a cockatoo I am *sure* will love us for getting her a falcon for a playmate (... I am joking for those who are about to call animal control ...) Those books are: Sighthounds Afield: The Complete Guide to Sighthound Breeds & Amateur Performance Events (with a Comprehensive Chapter on Adopted Ex-Racing Dog By: Denise Como, Lure Coursing: Field Trialing for Sighthounds and How to Take Part by Beaman By: Arthur S. Beaman, and Gazehounds & Coursing - The History, Art and Sport of Hunting With Sighthounds - M. H. Dutch Salmon. I'll be happy to tell anyone more about them when I have received and read them -- though I have written more the past few days on this list than I think I have written total email in a long while.
