Take this great little book along with you to the next church yard sale, estate sale, or flea market, and you may find yourself going home with a unique fishing lure, an old Orvis rod, or a box of old shotgun shells-without paying too hefty a price. Great descriptions; great pictures. I keep it by the bedside for quick reads. Highly recommended by an old duck hunter and his black labs.

First of all the word complete does not belong on the cover of this book. I think that this book is a perfect example of someone trying to do everything but ends up not doing anything well. There are books dedicated to subjects such as guns, knives and decoys, which could have been left out of this book. I think chapter 14 is a good example this chapter tries to cover cartridges, shotshells,and powder cans and kegs. There no descriptions, or pictures and it barely touches on each subject. If i had to describe this book in one word it would be disappointing, I would not recommend this book to anyone.
