decoys. Next to the Photograph is a complete description of the decoy, including maker, date, history, and where sold or found. Loy Harrell Jr., traveled across North America for eighteen months, visiting decoy museums and other collectors. A panel of decoy collectors then selected the 100 greatest, duck, goose, and shorebird decoys featured in this guide. Many of these decoys have never been photographed or illustrated in any publication. Decoys, North America’s 100 greatest allows the reader an inside view of the “cream of the crop”, from folk art decoys of by unknown carvers to the best decoys by the 19th and 20th century decoy makers. Decoys, North American’s One Hundred Greatest would be an excellent display on any office or den coffee table, or among a decoy collector’s collection. There are two indexes, one by the species of the decoy, and the other by the decoy maker.
