Reader Reviews
I bought this book as a gift for my dad who has quite a large collection of guns. Personally, I'm not very knowledgable as far as the makes, calibers, countries of origin, and original uses of the various gun types; so I could not judge whether or not the book gives accurate information for each weapon featured in the book. I did glance through a few pages. For each firearm listed there is a clear photograph provided and a paragraph of information. I would not call the paragraph too short, but neither would I say that it goes very in-depth. I read a couple paragraphs and found myself wanting more information. Guns are listed by type, then country of origin. I did notice that there is no index at the back of the book, so if you want to find a particular gun, you need to at least know what kind of gun it is; country of origin would also be helpful. I would say this book is best suited for an experienced gun collector who already knows a lot about guns, in general, and just needs something for quick reference. I'd also like to add something about the size of the book. It's probably around 12 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and about 3 inches thick. It weighs a ton!
