Whether your a collector or just curious about a gun you saw somewhere, this book will identify it for you. Its sections on the most collectible firearms like the 1911/1911A1, Colt SAA and the like are very well researched. Although Festad's blue book is the industry standard its lack of pictures puts off a lot of guys new to the hobby. You won't regret getting this book.
