Im not sure what kind of bird your doing but Chance's of finding one book to cover it all are slim, but any or all
Of the following would be a good addition to your collection
Hope this helps.
Gamebird Taxidermy by Frank Newmyer;
Waterfowl Patterns Vol. I by Frank Newmyer;
Upland Game Bird Taxidermy by Frank Newmyer;
Waterfowl Bill Finishing Manuals by Joe Ferebee (3 voulmes below)
Volume 1: Puddle Ducks
Volume 2: Diving Ducks, Mergansers
Volume 3: Sea Ducks, Whistling Ducks
WASCO carries all of these check them out the Gamebird Taxidermy by Frank Newmyer; should cover wing and foot and neck wiring positions and if im not mistaken the Joe Ferebee Manuals should have bill schedules but i think only for ducks. And of course there is The Breakthrough Waterfowl & Bird Finishing Manual
written by Kelly Seibels that should cover all types of birds and All very good books in their own right. I know it doesnt give you only one selection but having more than one book doesnt hurt.
