Received my copy today.No book reviewer and haven't studied much on this school of rifles,but found it of interest.Lots of pictures,the McInturff rifles are really interesting with the combination of styles.Well worth buying to me.

I was able to get a copy at Norris in April. It is a great reference book that goes into detail about the makers to include photos. I have since bought two more copies as gifts. His daughter, Michelle, is selling them on eBay.
