Just got my copy and Wow! What a great book for the money. Great information, color photos and high quality pages. Southern Mt. goodness at its best.
Thanks Cades Cove Fiddler for the suggestion.
Cheers,

;) ;)... Ken,... it IS the BEST book we have at this time on the subject,.... however,... there is a rumor that a full-color, coffee table style book on TENNESSEE RIFLES is in the works,... I know that many color photos have been taken, and descriptions gathered,... understand that a "high-powered" organization is also backing the project, so it is funded,...it takes time to organize and publish but will be well worth the wait,.... I already have made my "pre-order" request,... !!!....the late Robin Hale had planned one 30 years ago that never materialized,... I have faith that This One will,... keep your fingers crossed for availability in 2020,.... !!! ... glad you are enjoying Randal's book... he is a great guy, and a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for TENNESSEE RIFLES,.....regards,.. CCF

Got my copy last week. Super sharp, detailed color pics show details hard to divine from other sources. Very highly recommended.

It is by far the best book on southern mountain rifles for both color, picture quality and specifications. I'm using it right now while building a Matthew Gillespie. However, I must have got a bad one. All the pages are releasing from the binding and falling out. I'll probably order another one to replace this one. Randall personally brought this book to me while I visited the exhibit at the Smokey Mountain Heritage center. He was the nicest guy I ever met!

I agree with Scottmc, If Randall does another addition of this wonderful book, it needs a better binding. Mine came apart too, but then I looked at it a lot also. James Levy

I took my copy to the UPS store and for less than $5.00 They punched it and spiral wound it for me. It now opens easily and also lays flat on my bench when using it. Easy fix.
