Book as gift

I purchased this book at Christmas for my husband, which he was pretty impressed with, and he suggested I order for our son-in-law's birthday, which I did. Even though there were a couple of discrepencies in some of the gun descriptions (according to my gun knowledgable hubby), he still gave it a thumbs up!
The perfect gift for gun enthusiasts

I bought this book as a gift for one of my son's. He loved it and has used it as a reference numerous times since receiving it. The photos are high quality. The stats are specific, and there is even a really great story about a letter Clyde Barrow sent to Henry Ford. This book is a must have for anyone interested in firearms and their history.
Great Gift!

I bought this book as a gift for my brother for Channukah. He absolutely loved it! The book is smaller than I had pictured in my mind, I was thinking it would be a large "coffee table book"; however it was on the smaller side in length and height. Though the book wasn't as I picutred it was amazing on the inside. The pictures and descriptions of the guns are great. Overall I think the book is great, not only the interior but it's a perfect coffee table book that won't take up your entire table! I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who has a love for guns.
Beautiful photos
