This huge, 500 page book, came to me a few years ago. It is written by Nicholas Niles, Jr. and is a real effort. When I received it some years ago, I thought it was maybe semi valuable and it got buried in my book stacks. The last few days I have some time and pulled the book out and sat on the deck and read it for a few hours. That's what it is about-----affordable American shotguns, but I am finding the history of same quite interesting. There are latterly thousands of names and brands in the book, all put into some decent order, which is hard to do. If any of you like older American shotguns, mostly made to sell at a lower price, you will like this. If not, the history of the American Arms Industry is quite interesting.
