1.0 out of 5 stars Over-Priced Disappointment, November 13, 2009
This review is from: Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company That Made Them (Hardcover)
Publisher price of $89 is absurd. It's not worth half of the $56 price
offered by many. Be aware this book is all in black & white only with
loads of poor quality illustrations, engineer drawings, obsolete parts
exploded views & obscure information. A very un-pretty large volume in
comparison to similar excellent, full-color & beautiful histories done
for Colt, Winchester, Remington, Smith & Wesson, & Ruger. I own all of
these & this Marlin History is the shoddiest & worst quality of them
all, at one of the highest prices. Make sure you can return it if you
buy it and are as disappointed & disgusted as I was.

5.0 out of 5 stars must have for Marlin buffs, January 12, 2007
This review is from: Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company That Made Them (Hardcover)
huge collection of data, photo's and info on Marlin. can't imagine the effort that must have been expended in collecting what is printed in this book. A bargin concidering what is offered between the pages for the reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company that Made Them, September 17, 2007
By 
This review is from: Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company That Made Them (Hardcover)
A very comprehensive book for anyone with an interest in firearms. Well-written and illustrated. It contains a great deal of detail for the Marlin user and collector. Since it seems to go in and out of print on a regular basis, anyone interested in the book should get one while it's available. The cost of a used volume seems to increase each time it becomes unavailable. If you like gun books you won't regret buying a copy of this one.
