"The Search For Those Fabulous Whittinghams" (Rollers)
This is actually a set of two booklets, totaling over 300 pages. This
was a home publishing project so be aware the booklets are not professionally
done. This is an archival project to preserve elements of
the Birmingham Roller history in the United States and Canada. These
two booklets are an attempt to replace a scrapbook stolen from the
United Roller Club in 1937. Both authors Steve Roth and Joe Quinn
have maintained private collections of letters, bulletins, articles and
personal correspondance. Both authors feared that their collection
would be lost on their demise, so they produced these booklets of
Rollers in the mid 1800's. In the fall of 1947 Bill Pensom came to this
country and brought along some of his best Rollers which were a mix
of the Whittinghams. If you are a flying Roller/breeder, these books will
offer an insight to the history of Rollers and make you a better informed
Roller flyer. Written by Steve Roth and Joe Quinn. 406 pages.

The Flying Birmingham Roller
Birmingham Rollers are a very unique performance breed.
What they do in the air is far different from performance of
other breeds of pigeons. The breeds unique ability and the
unanswered questions as to why they spin probably explains
why so few books have been written on Birmingham
Rollers despite the number of Roller enthusiast. Written
by Dave Gehrke who acquired his first Rollers in 1971. Dave and
his wife Rita are also editors of the publication "The Roller Journal".
"Flying the Birnmingham Roller" is a well written 236 page, soft cover
book 6" x 9". Chapters cover breeding, conditioning, flying and managing
for success, plus more. A great read and a great gift.

direction. 8 1/2" X 11", Soft Cover. 96 pages.
