Description: This newest 29th edition of the Blue Book of Gun Values, with over one million books in circulation, once again sets the firearms industry standard for both modern and antique firearms information and up-to-date pricing. Now expanded to nearly 2,200 pages no other single firearms publication even comes close!
Details: This reference book is absolutely the definitive guide for gun values. It is the standard by which all other reference works are measured. There is background information on the manufacturers, historical references, grading guides, and a very well constructed set of tables for each gun listed showing current values. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in determining the value of their guns.

Review Summary: Blue Book Of Gun Values-Great Guide
Date: 2008-10-18
Details: This is THE guide to have. It is very useful in showing the trend your gun may be making as time goes by. You need to know the specifics of the gun, and this is reasonably descriptive. Not always easy to find your specific model as it may be listed in other areas than you would suspect, but not difficult either. It is good at giving "ballpark" prices to expect, but as always you can't count on getting that price. You may see a great variance due to demand, or condition(many think their gun is in better shape than the buyer does--a gun in "as new" shape may be booked at say 550 bucks, but yours has lost a lot of bluing, and the stock is flawed a bit from rubbing shrubs and such, so it may be woth only 325. you need to be honest with yourself on the condition.). Also a particular gun may be in much more demand in certain geographic areas, as opposed to others.
Emotions will affect price also "I had one of those years ago" or "My dad/granddad used to have one of those". Thoughts like these may inflate the buying price greatly.
But, I get off topic. This is a good guide, and for the average gun it reflects the market quite well. Any collector, gun show enthusiast, or a person just wondering what is what would do well to buy this. It is a guide, not a Bible. Dan Wickham
