Over-Priced Disappointment, Nov 13 2009
By D. L. McCoy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marlin Firearms (Hardcover)
Publisher price of $89 is absurd. It's not worth half of the $56 price
offered by many. Be aware this book is all in black & white only with
loads of poor quality illustrations, engineer drawings, obsolete parts
exploded views & obscure information. A very un-pretty large volume in
comparison to similar excellent, full-color & beautiful histories done
for Colt, Winchester, Remington, Smith & Wesson, & Ruger. I own all of
these & this Marlin History is the shoddiest & worst quality of them
all, at one of the highest prices. Make sure you can return it if you
buy it and are as disappointed & disgusted as I was.

This review is from: Marlin Firearms (Hardcover)
huge collection of data, photo's and info on Marlin. can't imagine the effort that must have been expended in collecting what is printed in this book. A bargin concidering what is offered between the pages for the reader.

Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company that Made Them, Sep 17 2007
By Joe Shaw - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marlin Firearms (Hardcover)
A very comprehensive book for anyone with an interest in firearms. Well-written and illustrated. It contains a great deal of detail for the Marlin user and collector. Since it seems to go in and out of print on a regular basis, anyone interested in the book should get one while it's available. The cost of a used volume seems to increase each time it becomes unavailable. If you like gun books you won't regret buying a copy of this one.
