Another Coffee Table Book

While done very well, like many other of his books, more about firearms few can afford to own. More for the collector of high-end guns.

Steel Canvas The art of American Arms

I bought this to read and then resell at my flea market location but cannot bring myself to part with it...FANTASTIC photographs of American engraved firearms.

ONE OF THE BEST PHOTO-BOOKS OF FIRE ARMS ENGRAVING

Having been a serrious engraver for just over a year now, I have amassed several books on engraving: mainly the "standards" for engravers: several of the Dover series of patterns, James L. Meek, Nimschke, etc. This has some of the finest and sharpest photos of engraving I have seen. And this book is cheap compaired to many of the others. Just plain beautiful. And --- worth every penny
