"Ask Michael Petrov he has extensive what to have list."
At one time I made a bibliography of , rifle, shotgun and pistol books.  My computer crash of a couple years ago left me with only the shotgun one.  I have not had time to update this or redo the rifle one. A good job for someone  

.
If anyone has a great interest in firearm books I suggest a copy of "Gun and Shooting" by Ray Riling.
This is way out of date and contains many mistakes.
