5.0 out of 5 stars Price Guide to Antique and Modern Firearms; Review, November 26, 2000
By 
This review is from: Official Price Guide to Antique and Modern Firearms, 8th Edition (Paperback)
I rate this book a solid five stars. This book is a very comprehensive price guide. It covers literally hundreds of manufacturers American and European. The Price Guide lists the grades and options and also classifies the gun (ie.curio, relic, modern, and antique).I do not however,recommend this book to the novice collector. The book is mainly text with few pictures depicting the individual grades or models.Personally I like it for the fact it is "unclutterd" by photo's which can be very misleading. I would say this book is a must have for the experienced collector or auction and gunshow attendants. The guide is compact for easy carrying around the shows and is formatted by maker for quick reference. The guide also has a very comprehensive glossary of gun terminology and even has a cartridge price and ATF classification guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Official Price Guide To Antique And Modern Firearms -8th Ed., October 22, 2003

This review is from: Official Price Guide to Antique and Modern Firearms, 8th Edition (Paperback)
This book may not be a Flayderman's Guide in the detail that is offered, but for what it is, it simply can't be beaten!
This is the one book that you must have in your library that you won't get rid of until the next edition comes out!
When other guides fail you, and don't list that obscure gun in their pages, you can almost always find it here. Forget the fact that this book isn't updated as often as I would like to see it done, the guns are in there, even if the details are lacking and the prices aren't up to date. All book price guides are outdated before they hit the bookstands, anyway, since it takes about a year to compile prices, edit copy and print the books. You have to use any book as a guide, only, and inject auction values, gun show offerings and other sources of knowledge to arrive at real value, in any case. This book is a "must have" simply as an identifier!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Mistakes, July 11, 2005

This review is from: Official Price Guide to Antique and Modern Firearms, 8th Edition (Paperback)
There are just far too many mistakes in the book to be able to give much credit to the values it lists. Supposidly the author is some sort of expert on guns, but there are many, many errors in models, manufacturers, etc. to believe he has much experience at all. Pass on this one.
