OverviewIn the study and appreciation of American history, and in understanding the crucial role played by firearms in that extraordinary saga, one of the most famous gunmakers is Winchester. Their products are so much in demand that they indisputably hold the title of the Blue Chips of gun collecting. And while a notable amount of literature on these marques has appeared in print, much of it from the period of post-World War II, there are still major categories which demand focused books. Such works are in response not only to the ""need to know"" from students, historians and collectors, but also are a powerful reflection of the ever-expanding explosion of interest in the magical world of firearms. The study of arms is a highly visual, and technical, pursuit. Having the objects sitting on a page, as if they are on the reader's desk, is a true delight. Few photographers can equal those images of excellence. And no one today can match his combination of skill, aptitude and artistry at doing both text and photographs Full Product DetailsAuthor: Dennis Adler , R L WilsonPublisher: Book Sales Inc Imprint: Chartwell Books Inc.,U.S. Dimensions: Width: 22.20cm , Height: 2.50cm , Length: 28.60cm Weight: 1.615kg ISBN: 9780785821083ISBN 10: 0785821082 Pages: 372 Publication Date: 15 May 2008 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Out of Print Availability: Awaiting stock ![]() Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationAward-winning author, photographer, and historian Dennis Adler is recognized as one of America's most published authors and historians.
