Gorgeous!

Having purchased works by this author previously, I knew what to expect and was not disappointed! the photography and layout is gorgeous. It is a coffee table book to treasure and I for one pick it up frequently just to drool over what I will more than likely never see in the flesh (so to speak). I have other books that supply the technical details such as serial numbers and production dates but for sheer heart string plucking beauty, I cannot imagine a better book. Wazza P.S. I am in New Zealand so Winchester shotguns are far harder to come by...

great color photos

Best color photos of Winchester shotguns of any book. By this book for the photos. Information is only ok. Dave Riffle writes a more detailed history if that is what you are looking for.

Wonderful refurence book

I peticularly enjoyed the parts on the early shotguns, especially the works of John Moses Browning and the refurence to Spencer's Pump Action shotgun. Nicely written. Wonderful pictures. Very well put together. No library on firearms should be without this book.
