Great Book!,

This review is from: A Handbook of Civil War Bullets and Cartridges (Paperback)
I have had this book for 2 years and it is the best reference on the topic of Civil War bullets. It is paper back, so you can take it with you to the shows and shops to check the dealer identification. You can't miss with this price.

A Marginally Useful Reference Work, But Not for the Novice,

This review is from: A Handbook of Civil War Bullets and Cartridges (Paperback)
This slim volume is a marginally useful reference work for those interested in Civil War small arms ammunition. It is not, however, for the novice, though given the dearth of publications on this topic it will have to be used.The book is logically ordered by caliber size. Photographs of bullets, including some with cartridges still attached, are presented. Unfortunately, views of the interior base of the bullets are not included, save for one page of drawings. Very little information is presented with respect to the manufacture of bullets, and what there is lacks decent illustrations (save a few difficult to view woodcuts). The text and oft times the specific bullet references are confusing. An errata page glued to the inside cover is somewhat helpful, but the occasional description of bullets on pages separate from pics adds to the confusion. Be prepared to work to understand and use this book.

There is some good information in this "pamplet" but I was disappointed that it turned out to be more of a list with very little narrative. If you already have a good understanding of this subject then it might prove to be a handy tool for additional information.
