Dr. James Whisker has a couple of new books out, below is information on the 2 new ones and a listing of others that he has available. His contact information is shown below.
I have 2 new books out
Gunsmiths of New Hampshire, $25 ppd
Arms Makers of Rhode Island, $25 ppd
The Man at Arms published book by William Achtermeier on Rhode Island arms has long been out of print.
Mine benefits from that book and adds many more names along w/ additional information on some of those previously published names.
There has never been [to my knowledge] a book on New Hampshire gunmakers. The checklist offered by a NH library is far from complete.
Both books emphasize the gunmakers themselves and address both civilian arms and military small arms production.
Both books are softcover 8.5 by 11" size.
These join the following paperback books I have published previously.
Gunsmiths of Virginia [my 3rd book on VA], $30 ppd. much new information, additional names
Gunsmiths of Missouri, $25 ppd. many names not in the other MO gunsmith book & no photo duplication
Gunsmiths of Georgia [w/ Wayne Elliott], $20 ppd, sole book on its subject
Gunsmiths of Tennessee, $25 pp, only book on these arms makers
It should be obvious that I am not making $$$$$$$ on these books given short run costs to print.
