Summary: If you own (or want )a Sharps or just interested you need it
Comment: Very detailed book with a LOT of information on just about everything Sharps ever made. You get a good amount of facts & figures, a lot of photographs and other illustrations.
There is actually too much for one book. I found myself wanting more information on the 1874 model Sharps (the type used in the movie Quigley Down Under)and while there is a great deal it managed to not cover everything I wanted. This is most likely because in his preface Mr. Sellers writes that he originally came up with a 1500 page manuscript that had everything in it. Obviously to get it down to a publishable 358 pages a lot had to be cut out but you will get information on design, development, models, types & variations. There is also a lot of stuff on accessories, even the types of finishes that the rifles and other guns could be purchased with.
Anyone who owns or wants to own a Sharps should have this book as should anyone interested in the history of American firearms.
Although listed as out of print I have a copy that came out in 2003, it might not look as nice as some of the earlier editions but has the same information. If you can't find an old one (same price as new I think), try one of the major shooting supplies websites, or try Shiloh Rifle itself.

Summary: Sharp's Firearms by Frank M Sellers
Comment: Without a doubt the finest reference on Sharps Rifles available.Mr Sellers has done the research and cleared up any argument as to what the plains buffalo rifles were; calibre, weight and configuration. The illustrations and first hand accounts of owner's of these fine firearms are first rate.
Rating: 5
Summary: A must for Sharps shooters!.
Comment: The book is a very valuable resource for anyone interested in Sharps rifles and the part they have played in American history. As avid sharps rifle shooters my wife and I both enjoyed the book.
