1.0 out of 5 stars Not worthwhile, February 20, 2006

By	A. Perer (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a a collection of ten magazine-like articles on random subjects (hearing protection, some gun reviews) making up 80 pages and an 80 page out of date price guide. Very useless. I highly recommend Gene Gangarosa's books. They have history and reviews of the guns.
