This book offers a lot of info but however, it should be mentioned that the pictures are generally of a very poor quality as a result of which the distinguishing of (important !) details is hardly or not at all possible. The (few) drawings are of an even worse quality. Also the chapter covering the P88 and P99 models is inadequate (notably for the P99)and the subtitling of the pictures sometimes is completely wrong. Nevertheless this book has to be considered worth its price because, again, it offer lots of info (especially on prewar models)and it reads in an agreeable way.

This is a rather well thought out book...IF you're a collector on the vintage pistols.
Although the photos could have been of a better brightness and contrast, they do serve to show a fairly comprehensive history of the Walther pistols. It would have been nice to see some movie and TV tie-ins to show how prevalent the Walther name has been on the large and small screens.
What I would take exception with is the way the P99 was handled. An updated edition is warranted and would serve to remedy this oversight. The same can be said for the Walther line of airguns, be they pellet or BB pistols.

Not a bad book, considering there is nothing else on the market that delves into the history and legacy of the Walther name in firearms.

I thought the book was pretty informative but some of the pictures were real dark therefore not being able to show complete detail and his serial numbering dates were a little vague

A good reference book. This book should have been better printed, and, the photographs and the drawings are of poor quality. There should have been more, and better quality, exploded drawings.

The transaction was wonderful, the item is wonderful. I only wish and hope all my transactions will be as wonderful

This book truly offers a lot of information but however, it should be mentioned that the pictures generally are of a very low quality as a result of which the distinguishing of (important !) details is hardly possible. The (few) drawings are of an even worse quality. Also the chapter covering the P88 and P99 is inadequate (notably for the P99)and the subtitling of the pictures sometimes is completely wrong. Nevertheless this book has to be considered worth its price because,again, it offers lots of info (especially on prewar models) and the book reads in an agreeable way (courtesy of the author)

This book is very insightful to all aspects of the Walther product line past and present.
