If I had to choose one book - it would be the Blue Book of Gun Values. -- Joe Wanenmacher, Producer, Tulsa Gun Show, May, 2002

The Blue Book of Gun Values contains the most accurate information in an easy to use format. -- Phil Schreier, Curator of Programs, NRA National Firearms Museum

This is the bible for the firearms collector, because of the vast information available and its up-to-date pricing. -- J.D. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good guide; only lacking photos, November 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Book of Gun Values (Paperback)

This book covers an extensive array of firearms and prices for varying conditions. It is an excellent reference. All it needs is photos of the firearm described. There are small variances in many, particularly the Winchesters, that may make them difficult to identify without a photo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Gun Collectors, March 3, 2002

By	John Fraser (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blue Book of Gun Values (Blue Book of Gun Values, 22nd ed) (Paperback)

The Blue Book is the "bible" for those who deal in used firearms.
Whether buying or selling, this is the place to start when setting a price to buy, sell, or bargain with respect to a particular gun. It is comprehensive and user friendly for those who do not engage in this area very often, but it can be well worth the price in terms of over- or underpricing of firearms for sell or purchase. As an added bonus, this edition honors a true American hero on the cover and inside with an interview of Joe Foss, WWII ace and Medal of Honor recipient. I highly recommend it to all dealers, collectors, and other interested persons!

3.0 out of 5 stars Military weapons are low, April 6, 2006

By	Matt (Savannah, Ga. USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blue Book of Gun Values, 26th Edition (Paperback)

I deal with guns on a daily basis and I refer to this book several times a day. Most of the values listed in the book seem to correspond with the market. However, U.S. military firearms and some of the Colt pistols are listed too low. For collecting purposes the descriptions are too vague. I refer to the many auction sights and specialty dealers on line that list these types of weapons for sale. Some of these dealers are are highly reputable and published authors on US martial weapons.These types of firearms increase in value quickly as the interest in U.S.military history grows. This book does not reflect the rapid increase in value that these guns have made in the past few years. Overall this book is very useful, but when researching the value of a specific military weapon, consult the internet or buy a book.
