This is the ultimate book for any S&W enthusiast. It covers almost every item ever made by S&W. It includes history of each model along with each variation and many good photos. No matter what area of S&W collecting your interest lies you will find very good information within the pages. The book gives guidelines on serial numbers and years of manufacture. Also covered are boxes, grips/stocks, knives, other non firearm products and more. It does include pricing, however this is out of date as the prices fluctuate. The prices still provide a decent cost basis. Its a cant miss book, I love my copy you will not be disappointed!
Even though it's the 3rd Edition there's still plenty of great & relevant information about the older S&W models.

This book is an excellent source of Smith and Wesson history within the bounderies of the printed material of this publication. Some area's of Roy Jink's book are expanded along with new material on current production firearms and accessories not available anywhere else. Another source of history not subject to electronic alteration with far more material compressed within it's cover's than available on web internet sources.
Have not had this book long and have learned a lot already. Good advice on recognizing replaced parts and tips for refinished guns. I had purchased volume 4, have volume 3 on the way, and will buy volume 2. I know this is the older book, but it’s full of useful information.
