Tis book is a large format coffee table top style book. While not indicated in the title, the author spends as much text space giving an introductory view of the history of hunting and safari as he does that of firemarms. There is a section of the book that provides a brief overview of the developement of long guns with a specific focus on the best quality makers. There is another introduction to many of the top makers of firearms past and present. If you are looking for detailed information for the purpose of collecting you will have to purchase other books more specifically devoted to that detail, likely a text on each indiviual gun maker. On the other hand the illustrations are excellent. Details of engraving carving etc are well presented and I found them well worth while as an idea resource for my own gunsmithing and engraving projects.Read full review
