I second MacQuarrie as one of my favorites and would add Francis Sell. A very practical writer that included real experiences in his writing...much like ted Trueblood...

Can't forget to mention The Double Gun Journal Index & Reader 1997-2005 which is 300 pages of shooting stories including classics written by Kevin McCormack, David Noreen, Charlie Price, Art Wheaton and others. The writing and photography in this book is first rate.

That's a very good list but some holes need to be filled.

Someday I'll start a thread of autographed and inscribed classic upland books.
