I believe I had a 1977 reprint at one time, but I replaced it with a 1995 reprint from the NRA's Firearms Classics Library.

The binding is superb with ribbon marker, the pages gilt-edged, and the pictures and drawings much sharper than the 1977 reprint.

These copies can still be found for reasonable prices.
