Paul W. Parmalee, Illinois State Museum Forrest D. Loomis, Illinois Department of Corrections Both sports men in the field and collectors by the heart will prize a copy of the biggest and most beautiful book ever published about This is a definitive work on Illinois decoys, but its interest extends far beyond the Midwest. Years of collecting-and photographing collections-went into this book. Short biographies on 208 known carvers-drawn from hundreds of interviews with either the carvers or their descendants and friends-place both men and decoys in historical perspective. DECOYS AND DECOY CARVERS OF ILLINOIS is a major contribution to the preservation of a minor but genuine folk art which at times reaches heights of great beauty. 506 pages including 428 black-and-white photographs and 8 pages in full color. 8 x 9 1.2 inches bound in natural buckram.
