Description
Countrysport Press, 1999. Hardcover with dust jacket. 2nd revised edition. (ISBN 0-924357-79-7) Book is illustrated with many black and white photographs of his examples. Sticker on back boards saying promotional publication. Good tight copy, unread, good glossy jacket. This is Michael McIntosh's classic book on fine shotguns in a new, fully revised and expanded form. The world of best-quality guns has grown immensely since the original edition of "Best Guns" was published in 1989. Dozens of European and American gunmakers have restarted in business, or have come into the forefront of prominence worldwide. McIntosh covers them all, large and small, drawing upon many years of continuing research into the nature of the shotgun and the people who make them. Like the original, "Best Guns" is organized in two sections. The first is devoted to the best shotguns ever made in America. Names from the past such as Parker, A.H. Fox, L.C. Smith, Lefever, Ithaca, and others are treated in greater detail, and the section is expanded to include such newly manufactured American classics as A.H. Fox, Ithaca, and A. Galazan. In the second section, McIntosh explores the revivified world of gunmaking abroad — in England, Spain, Italy, and elsewhere, places where traditional craftmanship and modern technology have combined to make the turn of the twenty-first century the most vibrant and exciting period in fine gunmaking in nearly a hundred years. McIntosh offers practical advice on buying, shooting, and collecting older guns — what to look for and what to look out for, all based on long experience. Here is an encyclopedic gathering of knowledge, the best-ever guide for those new to the world of fine guns and a standard reference for everyone all written with the precision and the seamless grace that is Michael McIntosh's trademark style. Hobbies, sports.
