 A Major Disappointment June 20, 2008
Rarely have I been this disappointed in a book. It claims to be the history of Winchester which is certainly is not. What it is is page after page of very low quality black and white photos of Winchester firearms accompanied by a simplistic, broad brush description of each. Most of the text seems to have been lifted directly from one or more similar books which do a much better job than this piece of junk.
GREAT BOOK!!! November 15, 2004

I am big fan of guns namely the winchester. This is a great book. It explains how specific models and series of guns work, as well as the history behind the company and the manufacturing of the weapons. Mainly the book focuses on the specs of each arm. The type of gun, magazine, chamber, stock, sights, receiver, barrel, weight etc. Includes great pictures, and extra historical data on comemorative models. A great book to have to teach yourself and your children about history's guns, as well as have a record of the many great guns our contry was founded and build on.
 Too Little For Too Many June 16, 2000

While an interesting beginning for a novice collector the author spans too great a time period to adequately cover any series of Winchester firearms. Winchester collectors are quite attracted to styles or types of firearms. This book barely answers even the most rudimentary of questions and as such is an overall disappointment. Secondly, the book would be greatly enhanced by more detailed and clear photography. This would assist the new collector in appreciating the marvel of these firearms - while providing a much better overview for future study.
