Decoys: North America's One Hundred Greatest
by Loy S. Harrell, Jr.

Loy Harrell spent eighteen months traveling throughout North America assembling a select representative group of one hundred duck, goose and shorebird decoys. The decoys pictured in Decoys: North America's One Hundred Greatest were chosen by a panel of renowned North American decoy collectors. Many of these decoys have never been photographed or illustrated in any publication. Decoys allows the reader an inside view of the "cream of the crop," from folk art decoys by unknown carvers to the best decoys by 19th and 20th century makers. The author has pictured each decoy to highlight its sculptural form, and each decoy is accompanied by the author's definitive overview. This volume is a valuable reference for anyone interested in the history of this unique art form.

The Art of American Game Calls: Identification & Values
by Russell E. Lewis

If you are hunting for the best book on American game calls, this is it. More than 275 game calls, made by traditional and company call makers, are featured in close to 400 color photos. Each call is identified as to maker, approximate age, area of manufacture, and current collector value. Examples of famous call makers such as Perdew, Allen, and many others are included, as well as a wide sampling of calls from lesser known makers. In addition, the book profiles the major American call companies like Faulk, Herter's, Lohman, Mallardtone, and Olt. Most of the calls have never before been seen in print.
