Summary: It is not a complete history.
Comment: I found this book to be very helpful in area of Colt 2nd & 3rd Generation revolvers. It did not cover other replicas as I had hoped it would. I found some information to be inaccurate and incomplete. The section on Blue Book Values is worthless. It list distributors of the same manufacturer giving different values. Where do these values come from?? It does not cover the real collectability of these replica revolvers nor the various markings of revolvers that have not been available for years. These are the real collectable pieces. Additional comments 7/1/02: After reading and reviewing this book more thourghly, I would make the following suggestions to the author and publisher. The photography work is excellent but the organization is poor. It is more like a "coffee table book" than a treatise on the collecting of black powder replica revolvers. Colt coverage is good but the bulk of the collecting of the majority of replica revolvers is totally missing. Also, the overabundance of pictures of the author in his cowboy suits and his continual reference to himself has little value to the collector seeking information. Maybe a subtitle of this book should be "Dennis Adler's Brag Book".
Rating: 5
Summary: A wonderful addition
Comment: Having fallen in love with blackpowder cap and ball shooting this year I also fell in love with Dennis Adler's book. Loaded with beautiful photographs of all of Colt's black powder revolvers Adler also gives you a good understanding of the mechanics of black powder shooting. His comprehensive guide to what's available in cap and ball is perfect for the entry level hobbyist in search of information.
