Apparently, I am an infuriating man who buys everything he wants for himself, which makes it difficult to purchase an anniversary gift. So I have myself a nice Amazon gift card from my lovely wife.
I’m putting together a little dead-tree gunnie library. So far I have a decent translation of the Soviet manual for the Mosin-Nagant, Frank W. James’ Effective Handgun Defense, and a couple others.
I’m considering getting something on the care and feeding of the M-1 Garand or one of those “If you only have one book about guns, get this one” bibles, but there are a lot of choices available.
So I’m asking for y’all’s help. What gun books would you recommend?

/ November 13, 2011Heh. I read my grandfather's Blue Jacket Manual he got in the 1940's when I was in grade school. Honestly, how I ended up in the Army is still a mystery to most of my family.
