I had read earlier reviews and wasn't expecting a lot, but the price on eBay was really reasonable. It is a good step above the coffee table book of Colts type of publication but is way, way below the sister Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. The author eems to have based his price info on Gunbroker.com sales. Variations among models doesn't track well for me. I tried to follow the 1911 XSE and enhanced models but was left scratching my head. An index might have been helpful. This is possibly a good started book or limited collector but is definetly not a heavy research tool in my humble oppinion.
I bought this book to so I would have some basic knowledge about Colt firearms. Now I have some understanding of various models, dates, finishes and values. There are more expensive and detailed books available but this one worked for me.
