I agree with Researcher with the exception that if you want to start at the beginning, with the first published book devoted exclusively to Parker guns then moving up chronologically through the subsequent books published exclusively on Parker guns, you should start with Johnson's, then Baer's, then Muderlak's "Parker Gun, The Old Reliable", then "The Parker Story". By doing it this way you will gain an appreciation of the progress in Parker knowledge most of have experienced (with the exception the authors of these fine books, and "Researcher" Dave Noreen and other collectors who painstakingly did their own exhaustive research) and are continuing to experience. "The Parker Story" probably contains just about all of 'knowledge' that Johnson and Baer imparted through their books so you can skip those two if you wish. There has been quite an awful lot of accurate information uncovered since "The Parker Story" was published including Muderlak's work and the articles in the "Parker Pages" so, the "Parker" knowledge base is a living thing and we are all eager students like yourself.
