I know what I think of the coffee. Does anyone have any thoughts about the book. It's the "Revised and Expanded" 1985 edition


You also need first edition. Zutz was honest in his assessments and all his books are worth owning. He has very good discussion stress forces on double gun actions and bolting systems devised to deal with them. When I was interested in shotguns I had half a dozen of his books including both editions of Double Shotgun.

Off topic, but if I was to pick one book on shotguns it would be Shotguns & Cartridges for game & clays by Gough Thomas edited by Nigel Brown.
