Women and shooting

A most exellent book on the history of women and guns and shooting in history. Beautifully done!

Very happy

The book was received faster than expected, and was apparently brand new. The price was 40-50% less than we had seen in on remaindered shelves her in town. We are very pleased.

Guns, Women, History - great read and photos

As I listened for over 1 hour on the G. Gordon Liddy show and read reviewed in the NY Post, this is THE book on the history of arms and women. The photos are astounding (some by Peter Beard), the captions very interesting (not repeats of the text!) and, over all, one can really understand women's fascination in the use of firearms, from defence, to shooting, especially sport shooting and an Olympic Champion (as well as a good piece on Annie Oakley).A great gift book.
