Werner Laurie, London, 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. ‘Here for the first time is presented a book dealing exclusively with faking and its problems; a thorough, detailed, exhaustive practical study of the subject. The author, believing most thoroughly that the only effective way of dealing with an evil is to turn upon it the searchlight of truth and publicity, in the pages of this book strips from faking the mystery and secrecy that surround it. Faking itself is defined; the problems and difficulties connected with its detection are fully discussed; the faker's secret methods, the processes and the formulas he employs for dyeing, bleaching, etc., in all their variety and as applied to the many different breeds of poultry, are adequately described and analysed.’ Contents: Part I.
