I was initially excited to receive this book in the mail, which is out-of-print and collectible, but after reading it, I cannot figure out who the intended reader might be. The mention of foxhounds is given 2 pages and all of the other hounds from sight hounds to deer hounds are summaries, at best. I would have liked to see a more in-depth coverage of these great hounds which have been imported and bred in North America. This is more like a school report on the subject of hounds and their quarry, although the one interest chart, aside from some of the photos which were pleasant from old art to 
modern hounds, showed that:
Coyotes travel at 40 mph, weigh 20-50 lbs, and are 32-37 inches in length
Red fox travel at 30 mph, weigh 10-15 lbs, and are 22-25 inches in length
Gray fox travel at 28 mph, weight 7-13 lbs, and are 21-29 inches in length
Most Thoroughbred horses have been clocked at just under 40 mph on the track and weigh 1100-1200 lbs and the English Foxhound, while it may reach 65 lbs, is also said to travel at around 40 mph.
