A major factor in the cost of gun-related books is the economy of scale. A major publishing house's representative told me that, at best, the books are aimed at a very limited market . . . in contrast to, say, a current bestseller (AND SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!!). It's the same way with hand-made knives or anything else; there are way more Bucks out there than Randalls. Another thing, while Brister's Shotgunning is being peddled as a 2nd edition, in reality it's just a reprint.
