In my opinion, the "blemished" TPS is not really blemished, but a way for Mr. Cote to give a gift to his readers without actually changing the retail price to a lower figure. Go for it. Ed Muderlak wrote two books titled Parker Guns. The latest is titled Parker Guns, Shooting Flying and the American Experience. It is a wonderful book that covers our hobby better than any book I have read. The Larry Baer books show guns that we haven't seen in years. Your best bet, after The Parker Story, is a full set of Double Gun Journal. The Parker articles and pictures in DGJ are worth what you will pay for the whole set of magazines.
