Review
Boston's Gun Bible by Boston T. Party, Kenneth W. Royce
What you will NOT find in this book is ANY hint of advertising $$$ influence, chicanery, or editorial falderal. Since the 2002 edition, over 200 pages of various revisions have been included during the annual reprintings. Amazon carries the latest version -- the 2009 edition which includes Boston's several page analysis of the Heller decision.. Especially valuable is the section detailing the merits and faults of various modern semi auto rifle systems. I will save you a bit of reading, in case you are in a hurry, and just tell you now to buy this book. At about gpages, it can't be considered light reading, but the subject matter is important and needs a lot of covering to get it all through to the reader in its entirety.I thought that the project would be rather daunting when he undertook it, but the results are well worth the money. What he ended up with is a layman's guide/how to book for buying, selling, choosing, caring for, KEEPING, shooting and enjoying firearms of all types, but especially those that are ''Liberty's Teeth''. Eloquent without being boring. This is a hallmark of Boston's work, and you will not be diappointed in Boston's Gun Bible. The work is markedly political, obviously pro gun, and has a rather witty ''screw the hoplophobes'' tone that I really enjoyed. If you are after a no holds barred consumer guide to firearms, accessories, and shooting, GET IT.Boston's Gun Bible goes into great detail about the pros and cons of various defensive weaponry, equipment, and the philosohy behind their appropriate usage. Party, the well known gauthor of such titles as You and the Police, Surviving Y2K And Other Disasters, Hologram Of Liberty and a handful of other noteworthy titles. If you want yet another glossy photo gun book, extolling all of the imaginary virtues of every firearm ever made, this is NOT the book for you. The writing is crisp and to the point.
