Great book for a quick and easy understanding of the whole British game gun thing. Good contrast for one involved in American vintage doubles. Well written and informative.

I found this book very pleasant,easy to read and very helpfull.It's a very good book to start with and start comprehending the history of the vintage english shotguns.the only negative comment is that contans many black and white photos and that some good makers are not mentioned at the end.But there so many of them....

Quality book on the very best British shotguns that the average hunter/shooter will never be able to afford . However do not dispair ... Use the info in this book to your advantage . Use it to find a top quality (non best)British shotgun with all the trimmings at a fraction of the cost of the big names . Then use the money that you have saved to fund your adventures afield . That's what I have done . I fing myself using a supurb Birmingham double that has all the characteristics of the top names . I could afford to buy & shoot it . Thanks to a top book that armed me with the details I needed .
