Know Your Ducks is designed for the novice enthusiast of any age. For each breed the right hand page is dedicated to a quality picture of the duck accompanied by a description of its appearance. On the facing page is a concise description of the breed's origins and its history. For many for the breeds Jack gives a description of their personality, egg laying and flying abilities and how they are best kept.

As a useful guide to identifying British breeds it falls well short. The mix of domestic and wild breeds is unusual (most guides would only include the wild birds) and therefore would be useful, if, it was comprehensive, unfortunately, it's not. Not all breeds likely to been seen in Britain are included yet it does include many wild species that are very unlikely to be. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a guide.
