Several racing pigeon selection have been added this week. If you are searching for that affordable gift any pigeon fancier would appreciate why not a novel, or a pigeon magazine of the month of their birth. We have most months available in either the American Pigeon Journal, the Pigeon Debut, the Pigeon Fancier, and others.. Just follow the link to the Pigeon Cote bookstore and browse the choices under the magazine section. But don't stop just with the magazines, check out descriptions of many of the best books in the field, including many fine children's books on pigeons. There are sections for antique, fiction, breed specific, medical, magazines, dovecotes, pigeon use in war, and many others. New books are added every week and can be found in the new section devoted to the latest entries that have yet to be cataloged.

The Pigeon Cote Presents,
the fully annotated second edition of Dovecotes of Great Britain.
We made our first visit to Great Britain in 1998 to record the dovecotes
of old described by Cooke in his work Book of Dovecotes. We were very
happy to find that many, many of the dovecotes he described nearly one hundred
years ago are not only still there, but many have found loving sponsors that
have maintained them in pristine condition.
In 2006 we made a second trip to try to find some we just didn't have time
to get to during our previous five week visit, and we again were well rewarded.
It took me until 2008 to prepare all the new material and include it on the
updated web site. We have added a lot of annotation, displayed in green
on standard browsers, and many more photographs. A copy of the Dovecotes of Great Britain is now available from the Pigeoncote Bookstore.
