The author just had an article in Shooting Sportsman. Check it out. It's the only thing I have seen from him in thirty years. He has a lot to share about Parkers. There are three Baer books, a Volume 1, a Volume 2, and a one volume combination of the two. He also published a hard cover reprint of an incredibly rare 1895 Parker Brothers showroom catalog. He has collected, studied, and written about Parkers for decades. Before he wrote, he ran a gunsmithing and refinishing operation called Bearcat Sports. I have not seen any discussion of his life before writing the books. I just happen to be old enough to remember.
