which Muderlack book 1st?
 

I have copy of TPS and I have the original parker book, just wondering if I need to get one over the other 1st? I plan to get both.

EDM's first book on Parkers was "Parker Guns, The Old Reliable".

Ed's first book is a good read. Good photography too.

Was curios I had been told that I would like the second one better since Old Reliable was similar to Parker's America's finest shotgun which I have already read. Not saying that is the case, but was told that by only person I know personally who has read both.

Muderlak's first book is nothing like Peter Johnson's. Muderlak's stands quite nicely on its own and even dispels some inaccuracies in Johnon's... not to disparage Johnson's at all - it was, after all, the very first book dedicated solely to the Parker gun and was the base upon which most works on Parkers published post 1968. You really owe it to yourself to get all the books on Parkers if you want to have everything in your library... And don't forget Larry Baer's two volumes.

Get Parker the Old Reliable first and get the second one next. Also, When Ducks Were Plenty is good. I have not read his novel yet

What novel?

The one on Arthur Dubray

Oh, right... "Knight of the Trigger". Not much in there about Parkers per se.

I suppose it could be considered an 'historical novel'.

None of Muderlak's books is like any other book on Parkers. I wouldn't be without any of them. Shooting Flying, The American Experience is the best.
