I received my copy in Tuesday's mail, just before we left for a few days at a delightful cottage (Heron Cove) on the north shore of Orcas Island. My mind can't get around what an amount of work this must have been for the author(s). The book is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in the golden age of the American double barrel shotgun, a certainly belongs in all of our libraries. However, it appears so far that everyone has ignored the Elephant in the room! Some of the wonderful pictures in the book were hideously digitally streched or distorted to fill the avalable layout space! The worst offeneder is the featherweight frame Pigeon Grade on page 169.
