Review Summary: GREAT REFERENCE!

Details: This book presents a great overview of firearms both modern and antique. I've found it to be a great way to quickly locate information on a surprising array of weapons. While usually unable to give a lot of in-depth information on individual arms, it does give a quick overview with very pertinent details included. I've been very impressed by how many firearms, especially antique and reproduction 19th century muskets, are included. Great value for the price!

Details: I have the 2000 and 2002 editions of this guide and was very impressed, but the the 2008 is a disappointment. The picture quality is very poor and the newspaper type paper and print are very displeasing.

Details: You need this for a good price list that is current with todays market on Firearms. 2007 book has about the same prices but a few dollars difference, both books are very good in pricing your weapons.
