Reviews

"In the tradition of histories of salt, cod and the sextant, Blechman's book takes a common place and seemingly unremarkable thing and provides an insight into the effects it has had on our lives. Pigeons transcends mere quirkiness... This book really comes alive. — The Monthly (Australia's premier magazine)

"Sweeping!" — The Weekend Australian (Sydney)

"A charming inquisition.... Blechman chooses an obscure subject and runs with it." — Sunday Telegraph (Sydney)

"Written with beautiful detachment ... and lots of exemplary reporting." — Canberra Times

"A jolly good read. Pigeons deserves a wide audience." — Courier Mail (Brisbane)

"Blechman lays out an ironclad case against pigeon discrimination. A cracker of a read!" — Herald Sun (Melbourne)

"Just so quirky you can't help smiling." — Sunday Times (Perth)

"A charming and endlessly fascinating book." — Good Reading Magazine (National)
