Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book will take you back in time that you will be able to smell the gun powder and hear the wooden hammer of James Purdey the elder falling on a part of a flintlock gun at his small Princess street shop in the year 1816. The Author tells the fascinating story of the ups and downs of a family and business nearly 200 years old in an accurate, subjective and pleasent way, he has a great sense of humor as well. Some pieces of information regarding the very early days of the business are not as accurate as Donald Dallas' book, nevertheless, it's one of the musts if you are a Purdey aficionado.
