Hi
New member from L.I. New York.
I am a gun enthusiast but do not as of now own a Parker.
I find them to be very nice looking guns and want to learn more.
Could someone recommend a few good informative books on these guns ?

I have read what I could on the net, and am interested in pursuing more knowledge before investing in a classic gun like this.

Thank You, Tom

"The Parker Story" has become our go to book on Parkers. It is a two volume set and it isn't cheap but worth every penny. I gust googled it and they are available on the net.

THE book is the two volume Parker Story - Double Gun journal still had copies available last I looked

If you do an eBay search on Parker Shotgun book - you will see others

Johnson's book and a couple by Muderlak

I agree with Robin. Review FAQ's and other sections on the Parker web site. I would not shell out the big bucks for The Parker Story just yet. Learn all you can on the web site and ask questions. Use the search function on the discussion forum and you will find most of your questions answered previously.

Thanks for the replys. The parker story is a little much at this point, but I will follow up on some of the other books in the FAQ section.
