I own Peter Johnson's book Parker America's Finest Shotgun and am
looking to acquire other books on Parker guns.

I would appreciate suggestions.

Thanks.

a must have is the Parker Story - a two volume set of everything you will want to know

The Parker Story is a must. Ed Muderlak's books are a less expensive way to get started. Back issues of Parker Pages and the Double Gun Journal are good sources too.

Larry Baer's two books should be in any 'Parker book collection' as well.

The least expensive and the best start is the Parker Gun Identification & Serialization book.

I agree that the Serialization Book has a lot of information for a low price. My next choice would be Ed Muderlak's "Parker Guns, Shooting Flying and the American Experience". It will give you an overview of why we collect and shoot these guns.

Bill, while I agree, I think for the beginning Parker enthusiast Ed's "Parker Guns, The Old Reliable" would be a better starter.

Yup, I like them both.
