Large Oversize Hardcover, First Edition Random House 384 pages. Near Fine, in a NF DJ. Blue leatherette boards with silver titles - corners sharp. Just a hint of shelf/edge wear and a tiny bit of rubbing to unclipped DJ - now in mylar. No previous owner markings - all pages are clean and unmarked. Printed on heavyweight glossy paper, this is a very beautiful book. in these pages, youll find the best engraved guns from the 1990s going back to the 1700s. Most of the book covers American arms with an emphasis on Colt single-action handguns, Winchester repeating rifles, and monstrous Sharps buffalo guns, with a few knives and swords added for ballast. The text is well detailed and readable, but the main feast here is the hundreds of glorious color photographs.Here in full color are exquisite engravings, gold, silver and platinum inlays, intricately carved mother-of-pearl and ivory--craftsmanship which rivals any other field of decorative arts. A superb copy. ISBN-0679406735. LOC SSM-05
