It is the ultimate coffee table book since there is something to interest just about anyone.

This book is beautiful, interesting, and a pleasure to read. I don't hunt, collect stamps or wildlife art, but this is a great book. I am truly enjoying it. I especially like the section on conservation, which details the history of water fowl degradation and protection in the United States.

I have never seen my husband so entralled by a book before. I can never get him to sit down for 5 seconds but on Christmas morning, he forgot the rest of his gifts and sat and read this book! I was amazed! It contains history with great pictures and facts and he was actually enjoying himself while reading it!I highly recommend this book for any person interested in ducks, duck stamps or duck hunting.

The Duck Stamp Story gives a thorough history of this amazing conservation effort. Illustrations are outstanding, showing the beauty and quality of duck stamp art. Collectors of duck stamps, conservationists, hunters, artists - all will delight in this book.
