Making a lifeless bird look forever alive is a patient craft. Browne teaches the full art of taxidermy: skinning, preserving, mounting, and posing mammals, birds, and fish for the case and the collection. A thorough Victorian manual written for museum hands and amateurs alike. Learn the skill that keeps wild creatures on display long after their season ends.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
