Synopsis
No inventor in the history of American industry has captured the imagination the way Samuel Colt did. His revolving pistol became synonymous with American genius and invention, gave birth to a great manufacturing empire, and was legendary in the history of the Civil War, in the taming of the West, and in campaigns and adventures all over the world--wherever Colonel Colt's invention "made men equal." With more than 3300 color photographs and 115 in black-and-white (all taken especially for this book), Colt: An American Legend illustrates and describes every model Colt produced between 1836 and 1986. There has never been a bigger, more beautiful, or more extraordinary book in the firearms field. The large format of the book allows many of the firearms to be shown full size, and the history, development, and importance of each model and variation are presented and described in authoritative detail. A unique appendix traces the complete serial numbers and year of manufacture of every Colt model -- making this book a remarkable and invaluable guide for every serious collector and dealer.

Reviews
"Wilson has produced what may well be the definitive work on Colt firearms. Complementing his previous work, The Colt Heritage: The Official History of Colt Firearms, 1836-present ( LJ 11/1/79), this concentrates on the individual models the company produced. Interspersing his narrative with some biographical information on Sam Colt and his company, Wilson traces the development of the company line with more than 400 photos. The fine engraving and rich textures are shown to advantage in Latham's photographs. Every model produced is described and illustrated, including rare pieces. An invaluable appendix traces the complete serial numbers and years of manufacture. Of interest to collectors and students of the history of technology, this is highly recommended." -- Library Journal

- c***r (557)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. Many thanks for that. In particular, I appreciated the good quality packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had paper to pad out the box, plus a thin plastic cover to further protect the book. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Relax Into Stretch by Pavel Tsatsouline - flexibility and strength exercises (#197202802654)
- 7***7 (936)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaSuper seller! Item as described and packed very well so mo shipping induced damage. Bible is somewhat rare with a leather cover and pages are not damaged by underlining, highlighting, hand written notes in margins, creases, tears, or stains. Better than " as described". Highly recommend this seller!😊👍
- 3***3 (33)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaThe book was exactly as described. Near perfect condition. I’m loving reading all Jacques Pepin’s tips. The seller was extremely helpful. I, inadvertently, entered the wrong shipping address. I sent a message to the seller with the correct address. They answered me the next day saying not to worry they would change it. The book arrived quickly in a box cushioned with brown stuffing paper. The book itself was carefully wrapped in heavy white protective paper. I highly recommend them.La Technique Jacques Pepin illustrated techniques cooking paperback 1978 SIGNED (#167108398582)
