LOFT BOOKS
"Lofts of North America"
This book is the result of over 5 years of work, and I
truly believe it is the most anticipated book in many
years. As the owner of a major pigeon supply company,
we receive inquiries on a regular basis, asking for
information about building a loft. This book is meant
to give you ideas, not only on what a loft looks like,
but it is also full of interior pictures of a loft to give
examples of nest boxes, perches, flooring, breeder cages, ventilation,
windows, doors, trapping, aviaries, feeders, drinkers, and so much
more. We included over 100 lofts from Hawaii, Alaska, Canada,
North-South-West and Eastern United States. I did not want just Taj
Mahal type lofts that cost a mint, (but there are some in the loft), I
wanted the Average Joe loft, Racing Homer lofts, Fantail lofts, Runts,
Rollers, Pouters, Dovecoats, Parlor Tumblers and so much more. We
have included step by step pictures on building a loft and a page by
page diagram with bill of materials to build a 4x8 loft. The book is 99%
in color and much of the description text is written by the fancier who
built the loft. We have amature builders and professional builders.
The book is editing as we go to press with our catalog, so I can not
tell you how many pages it is, but it will be over 200 and I can assure
you, it will be professionally produced and a book that you will want
for the many great ideas offered. Even if you do not plan on building a
loft, Lofts of North America will give you a ton of ideas about improving
the loft you have. If you would like an autographed copy, please let us
know. A Great Gift. I apologize for the high cost, but printing a book
in color and what a printer considers a low number, it is very expensive
to print. Written by Jerry Gagne.
#802 "Lofts of North America" $65.00
"Building Pigeon Lofts Legally"
The purpose of this book is to help you avoid many of
the problems that can occur when you attempt ANY
residential or hobby building project. I hope you follow
my advice. I have had various consultations with
government department officials over the years, and
want my knowldge to be useful to others. Whether
you want to build or remodel a pigeon loft, an outbuilding or a new
house addition, this book will help guide you. Some people are going
to be interested in stopping your project, because they may not have
learned what an interesting hobby you have. That makes it necessary
to proceed with your project legally, and carefullly. In portions of
this book I give you information about my worldly travels, and insight
about lofts and flying in Japan. I lived and traveled there 18 months.
I joined the Aomori City Racing Pigeon (desho bato) Club, and raced
pigeons fo two young bird seasons. My life would have been much
less interesting without my Japanese tomadachi "friends". I want to
thank them for the friendship they shared with me, and show you how
devotd to the sport they are. Just like Americans are.

investment. #804 and/or #9010. Jerry Gagne
