ONE OF THE BEST PHOTO-BOOKS OF FIRE ARMS ENGRAVING March 18, 1997
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
Having been a serrious engraver for just over a year now, I have amassed several books on engraving: mainly the "standards" for engravers: several of the Dover series of patterns, James L. Meek, Nimschke, etc. This has some of the finest and sharpest photos of engraving I have seen. And this book is cheap compaired to many of the others. Just plain beautiful. And --- worth every penny
