It's fine and sort of required for learning about the history of the family and company and basics about the guns. It is not the definitive book on identifying, buying, or collecting Parkers. It is a bit of a piece of history for Parker collectors, though. Consider that it was written fifty some years ago, by a researcher who did not go out of the house to conduct his extensive and interesting research. Twenty years before the book, you could have bought an A-1 Special .410 from the factory for $800.00. Today it would have a value of a half a million dollars. Don't pay much for the book. They are all over the place out there. Try ebay or amazon. Ten bucks will buy one on amazon.
