About This Item
New York: Madison Books, Inc., 1961. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Issued Without Jacket. Volume 1, Number Two of a quarterly hardcover magazine devoted to "guns in history and in sport." The theme in this issue is marksmanship. The authors consider the function of the gun and how it can be fully realized only in the hand of a man skilled at hitting the mark -- whether a paper target as in one article, a game animal or bird as in another, or a military enemy, an affronted gentleman, a horse opera villain, a monolithic law enforcer or a psychopathic law breaker in succeeding stories. The 10 1/4 x 13 1/2" 98-page text, lavishly illustrated with color and black & white photos, artwork and diagrams, is clean and unmarked, tight and square. The 10 1/4 x 13 1/2" covers, showing a woodcut of dueling 19th century gentlemen, is moderately worn along the spine and edges with somewhat more wear at the corners as is not unusual in an oversized format. Collectable.
