3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful but scattered,
By A Customer
This review is from: Air Gun Digest (Paperback)
Jess Galen is a prolific author on a number of shooting sports, and he's particularly enthusiastic about airguns. Problem is, the Air Gun Digest is not a really well-thought out book, but rather an updating and rewrite of Robert Beeman's original Air Gun Digest, itself a book whose content was crabbed from many sources. The result is a mix of articles by different authors in different styles without much organization. There are reviews of guns, but many are out of date, and the coverage is hardly exhaustive. Then again, it's the only mass market book on air guns currently in print in the US, so it's proably worth having if you're a fan of air guns. Serious air gunners should look for the many air gun books published in England (and there are many) by authors like Gerald Cardew, Terry Doe, John Darling and others.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Ok for beginners but little evaluative comment.,
This review is from: Air Gun Digest (Paperback)
The authors provide little technical comment or evaluative reviews of various air guns or air gun types. For example, you will find no tests showing true velocites compared to advertised claims; nor will you find comment on the quality of the trigger, accuracy, or loudness. So, while you will get a general overview of air guns you will not get the kind of information or reviews needed to help you decide which gun best meets your needs.

Poorly written, see-no-evil book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Air Gun Digest (Paperback)
THe author writes columns about airguns in a few magazines too. The problem is that his published works seems like puff pieces for various airgun companies--he never has a bad word to say. Consider this as a book of extended product ads and you won't go wrong. Just don't make a buying decision based on it.Some of the Digest articles were either from his magazine columns of the same era, or his magazine cloumns from this book. (Columns of the There are few airguns books out, but nearly any are better than this if you want to have in-depth knowledge about airguns. I suggest books by TOm Gaylord, or the book Airguns; from trigger to target. That said, this is a good obsolete book form learning about some airguns available in a shallow, non-critical way.
