What reading level is Guide to Taxidermy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Your ob- ject is to make your skin look like a dead bird with 90 Guide to Taxidermy SWvwW ^'iwv $o«m.
feathers smooth and the bill extending horizontally in front, forming a straight line with the back and tail. Never allow i bird's bill to tilt up at an angle in a completed skin.
Lay your specimen carefully down upon its back, then cross its legs and tie them together at the point where they cross. Leave the ends of this thread long enough so that you can attach a label to it.
Roll up a paper ...cylinder a trifle longer than your specimen and of a diameter equal to that of his greatest girth. (You can hold this cylinder in form by tying a thread about its middle).
Caress your bird from hand to hand again, mak- ing sure that all feathers, especially those on the shoulders lay smoothly, then carefully slide it into the cylinder head first. Never use a paper cone in making skins ; it makes them hollow-chested and pot-bellied, with no semblance to grace. Good skins can also be made by wrapping them in thin layers of cotton batting, but I think the use of cylinders the most practical and certainly the specimens are less liable to injury.
