Books

Perhaps a bit of a "one off" from what is usually posted, but I have a question.

I enjoy books. I always have. I like paging thru them, putting them on the shelf and having them for both constant reference and enjoyment. Over the years, Ive picked up outdoors books from the likes of the great Gene Hill, George Bird Evans, dog books from Richard Wolters, flying books from Gann. They all possess something that a touch screen will never have. I'd like to domthe same with some gun books. More specifically revolver books. Not only the guns themselves, but the era in which they ruled. A few that come to my mind are "No Second Place Winner" and some of the writings on the late Skeeter Skelton. Scouring around for old books is about as much fun as rummaging thru the old holster bin for me.

Does anyone else have suggestions?

Thanks much.
