Got Guns?

I recently added a collection of 13 Gun Books to my inventory, all issued as part of the Firearms Classics Library for the National Rifle Association.

The books are in brand new condition, all still in their original shrinkwrap! Titles include Smith & Wesson Hand Guns, The Kentucky Rifle, History of the Colt Revolver, Firearms of the Confederacy, Shotguns by Keith, African Rifles and Cartridges, Firearms Curiosa, The Muzzle-Loading Cap Lock Rifle and Sixguns and Bullseyes.

These pristine copies are sure to sell quickly, and are a perfect example of $50 and Up Books to look for while you are out in the field book scouting.  Here is what they look like on the shelf, and as you can see they make an attractive addition to any collection:)
