This book is simply one of the best sources for accurate Winchester information I have ever read. The author himself is a wonderful source for knowledge but he also utilizes a number of reliable sources. If you are looking for history on Winchester Repeating Arms Co. This is the Book. If you are looking to find information on specific Winchester guns this book is a great start. The author also recommends additional titles for specific models of Winchester guns

This book has been part of my library since it was published. The most interesting bit of company relates to the Winchester/Henry conflict, you can guess the outcome. Buy the book and find the history behind the company who produced my favorite rifle more than a hundred years.

The hard bound copy is much better quality than the soft cover copy.

The second part of the book reviews the history of engraving and the engravers who ply'd their craft, turning Winchesters into works of art, not to mention expensive antiques.
