Who Owns A Copy of a Standard of Perfection?

.

am not sure how the page selection works, ie which page to take the first word from... so....

I own 4 SOP's,

1894 APA SOP; word at top of page 29, WELL
1905 APA SOP; word at top of page 41, WHITE (only three words and a drawing on this page)
1906 APA SOP: word at top of page 28, NOTE
1985 ABA SOP; word at top of page 29, THE


hopefully I will own the brand new one soon!

I own the 2001 APA SOP; word at top of page140, PRIMARIES

also there is free online access to the 1910 SOP http://www.archive.org/details/americanstandard00ameriala

Tara I sent you a PM and adjusted your post a bit, hope you are ok with that. We enjoy your information and appreciate your sharing of knowledge but I explained further in the PM about why I edited your post.

I have the 2010 Standard of Perfection, ordered it from Clayton this spring before it was even released. I have used it some but still learning how to use it properly.

2001, may get the new one

I do own the new 2010 Standard of Perfection. But, I have found through alot of reading and the expereince I am working on that the older breeding books from the early 1900's will give you alot more information, know how, and explaination on things then the standard. If you already have the other knowledge then a SOP will be great. For those people starting out and trying to learn, they have to learn the basic's too and in that respect there are better resources then the SOP.

I'll own one when you buy one for me Higgins hehehe

I personally can not yet afford one. Perhaps for Christmas... *crosses fingers, toes, and wingies*

agreed. better rescources include becoming Rico's shadow, and acting like a sponge with what he says

Oh how interesting it would be to look through those old books! That is very cool to have acquired these. Do the old SOPs include pictures? I do like all the art work in my 2010 edition. It really helps me to have a visual aid in addition to the written description.

1998 edition

in the 1894 version the turkey breeds are:
Bronze
Narragansett
Buff
Slate
White
Black

Ducks in the book are
Pekin
Aylesbury
Rouen
Cayuga
Muscovy
Call
East Indian
Crested

The Geese are Toulouse
Embden
African
Chinese
Wild
Egyptian

Unfortunately there is only ONE drawing in the bok, a general bird for nomenclature of the body parts.

got one too

.

we have the 1905
one day will get the new one or maybe see about trading this one for the newer one LOL

and Higgens The Buff Turkey is in the 1905 SOP

.

2010 edition. Might be worth getting the '98 version for the Schilling artwork. Is the 1923 Chantecler drawing in there? We wants it, Precious.

Tara- It would be very nice if the APA or the APA could give away copies of the standard and as you probably know I have been a district director for many years in both clubs. For the first printing of the new Standard APA it cost the APA about 40,000 dollars I don't think a club with less than 3000 members in North America who really only ask a small amount for membership can afford to give a book like this away. Same goes for the ABA

I think it's wonderful that the club works hard to keep the Standard current and while not everyone has the means to purchase one I would rather mentor people and let them use my copy until such time as they can afford one and hopefully should that happen they will get more out of the book and use it to it's fullest extent.
