Agreed, and the illustrations in it are quite poor but it is still the first book published on the Parker gun and though it is lacking in fact, should still be in a complete collection of Parker titles, IMO.

Jeffrey I agree with all the previously posted comments on this book and I have it myself as should any Parker aficionado. However if you want the proverbial Bible get yourself a copy of The Parker Story, It's going to set you back about $300-$350 I think unless you come across a used copy but it contains more technarcana and basic knowledge than even the best can consume in one reading, sort of like drinking from a fire hose if you get my drift, You will not be sorry. Good luck with your quest for Parker knowledge.
