THIS EDITION GREATLY IMPROVED
Customer Rating:
This 2007 edition has been updated very nicely. Lots more information than previously. A few illustrations could be updated to match current knowledge of the product. This shortcoming is unavoidable as the information might not have been known at time of publishing. We look forward to such updates being included in its next printing. Overall, the book has been greatly improved in appearance and "readability." It's a MUST HAVE for all who are interested in historical firearms.
A good reference but...
Customer Rating:
Not as updated as it would have you believe but still a good reference if you don't already own an earlier version and it does have a lot of photos.
Great visual aid
Customer Rating:
While not the end all of reference guides, when used in combination with other reference guides the book is very useful. The pictures have proven to be invaluable for identifying a certain model or type of firearm.
Helpful & Useful
Customer Rating:
Very useful and full of information. We buy a new book every year to keep up with the pricing, but also to see how our investments have done!!
Good Book
Customer Rating:
I have purchased this book since they started publishing it. I collect guns and this is a great pricing guide. This issue is a little below the standards of previous years. They seem to have changed some subtle things that won't affect the first time buyer but for the perpetual purchaser are disappointing.
