Parker Pages Review of Books

[Bill Murphy]

I went through the tables of contents from 2009 back to 2004 on this website and found Hinman's Golden Age of Shotgunning, Dr. Norris' Eastern Upland Shooting, Lynn Bogue Hunt's Artist's Game Bag, and Art Wheaton's synopsis of Gene Hill works. That is about it except that the Winter 2009 which has not yet been posted. We have plenty of books to review it seems.

Thanks Bill; I'll bring this to the top again. We have reviewed Peter Johnson, and several works of Burt Spiller. Book reviews are pure opinion, another review of a classic is probably welcome. Interestingly we have never had a review of The Parker Story; ten years after publication this should be an informative guide to new collectors.Also , no one has reviewed
Baer.
I have a copy of Serven The Collecting of Guns, and will bring it to Pin Tail if any one would like to do a review. I feel that this would be important and enlightening. Serven considered only a few non military arms to be collectable, but many people now consider Serven's formulae for military arms as criteria for collecting sporting arms. Is this reasonable?s it the way sporting arms collecting should proceed? A good revue of Serven has the possibility of being a major article.

Best, Austin
