Summary: A truly beautiful book!
Comment:
This is a book for your coffee table! It of course covers the history of Colt firearms, and was written by (who else?) the historical consultant to the Colt Firearms Division.
Wilson is also a well-known collector, free-lance consultant and well-known author in the firearms field. This is his twentieth book, and perhaps his best.
The book is well-written, of course, and the epitome of accuracy--deriving its facts and figures directly from the horse's mouth, so to speak--but its greatest value is the exquisite color photography with which it is filled.
There are 406 gorgeous eight and a half inch by eleven inch (landscape) pages, almost all of them containing color photographs of great beauty, depicting historical firearms directly from Colt's own collection, as well as from other sources.
If you are a firearm aficionado, or a Colt collector, or just a history buff who appreciates the role Colt firearms have played in American history, this is the book for you.
It is one of my most prized books.

Author of THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS: Our Journey Through Eternity

Summary: FANTASTIC
Comment: IF YOU ARE AN ENTHUSIAST OF FIREARMS OR AS I AM, AN ENTHUSIAST OF THE AMERICAN WEST, THEN THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. I HAVE SPENT MANY AN HOUR JUST SITTING WITH A GLASS OF FINE AUSTRALIAN RED WINE IN ONE HAND AND THIS BOOK IN THE OTHER, JUST SUCKING IN THE HISTORY OF THIS FINE AMERICAN WESTERN FIREARM. AS I AM ALSO CONNECTED TO THE PRINTING INDUSTRY, I ALSO APPRECIATE VERY MUCH, THE FINE QUALITY OF THIS FANTASTIC PUBLICATION. COME ON ABBEVILLE, PULL YOUR FINGER OUT AND GET THIS BOOK REPRINTED. MY CUSTOMERS AT AMERICAN WILD WEST IMPORTS IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, ARE ASKING FOR THIS BOOK EVERY MONTH, AS I AM SURE OTHER ENTHUSIASTS ARE IN OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. IT TOOK RANDOM HOUSE 12-15 MONTHS TO HAVE LARRY'S BOOK, "WINCHESTER: AN AMERICAN LEGEND" REPRINTED, DON'T FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP.
