Editorial Reviews

Review

Samuel Colt was a man of vision and the guns he designed were exceptional and are extremely collectable. Colt's Manufacturing Company LLC has extensive archives, dating back to 1860. The documentation we provide in our historical letters to our collectors is invaluable to them. Our records are enhanced by the information and values provided by the Blue Book of Gun Values. We greatly appreciate what they have contributed to the firearms industry. - --Kathleen J. Hoyt, Colt Historian

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have reference, May 1, 2008
Just received my 29th Edition and went through it with emphasis on the section's of most importance to me. As a long term subscriber to the Blue Book of Gun Values, I continue to find this book the single most important reference anyone could turn to on gun values. I guess that is why I continue to see it on tables of dealers at every gun show I go to. I do not know of a gun shop that does not have a copy handy at all times. Likewise, I do not know a collector that does not have his or her nose in this book several times a month. If you buy and sell, or, collect firearms, this book is the most valuable tool you will ever have on pricing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Packed with info, but lacking in photo's., August 3, 2008
By W. Keller (Northwest Arizona) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This blue book is packed with information not found in other gun value books. For the professional this may well be all that's needed, but for a novice it's extremely difficult to figure out which model is which in many instances, and the lack of photo's makes the identification process next to impossilbe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its still the bible, June 5, 2008
By Peter H. Yarusewicz (North East Kingdom, VT, United States) - See all my reviews
For good or for bad "The Blue Book of Gun Values" still is and will continue to be the bible in the used gun business. They do their best to take as much of the subjectivity as they can out of the grading process, but one person's 98% may still be anothers 90%. Small differences in percentage can mean a big difference in values.

That said it is still "THE" book most used in the business. The reader also needs to be cautioned that prices listed are RETAIL prices and not what you can expect to get from a dealer if you are selling a used firearm. Also understand that while this may be a "National" standard, real values can be dramaticly different for the same gun from one part of the country to the next. Sometimes as little as 50 miles can make a significant difference.

Overall it is a great book with tons of useful information. A must for every gun collector and dealer. Just take the prices with a grain of salt.
