Gamebird Taxidermy
written by Frank Newmyer & Roger Schroeder

256 pages, over 400 black & white photos and diagrams.

Frank Newmyer, besides being the "winningest" taxidermist of all time, has done more to advance the artistic aspect of taxidermy than any other individual. His bird work has inspired a generation of new taxidermists. WASCO is proud to be the new publisher of this classic taxidermy instruction manual. Through a special agreement with the former publisher, Stackpole Books, this new trade edition is now published by WASCO along with our Breakthrough wildlife artist manuals. Written by world champion bird taxidermist Frank Newmyer and wildfowl art writer Roger Schroeder, this book is an in-depth look at the step-by-step procedures that set Franks' work apart from all the rest. Frank uses a specially commissioned wood duck to demonstrate taxidermy's most current techniques. Included are instructions for design, anatomy, making eyelids and creating those wonderful habitats Frank is known for. No color photos. 256 pages. Softbound. (Shipping weight 2 lb. 4 oz.)
