This is not even a pocket guide, looks like someone pulled some brief info off the internet and slammed it into a book. A pocket guide should have pictures of drakes and hens, many of these have one only one picture, and a poor one at that. Then it will mention different color variations of a breed with no corresponding pictures. Another 5 second author, spend a few more dollars and buy a book by an author that spent more than 10 minutes throwing together some basic internet facts and pictures!
