A brilliant way to keep up with what is happening in shooting in America. I have most editions from the early 50's and find it compulsive reading.

Well-known, quality product needs no review by me. SELLER is my review subject. Product was just as advertised, possibly better. Delivery was very prompt, well packaged, 100% professional all the way.

Huck and Jim True Friends Forever

In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, we find out how people lived back in the 1850. Thanks to the book of Mark Twain, many people saw the reality of how African American people lived and how they were segregated from their loved ones and also the way they were treated when they were apart from each other. It also gave people a first hand looked on how African American people were look at as slaves, but also as people. It also gave people a chance to see that two different races were working together as a team to overcome obstacles and come out on top. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is indeed an educated book that should be taught in schools. It would give students a better view of how people lived in the South in the 1800's. In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a man by the name of Jim, who is a superstitious and believes in witches is ownd by a white lady by the name of Miss Watson who treats Jim like a person." Miss Watson who Is a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles always gave Huck Finn lectures on how to act preparedly and also tried to educated him"(pg. 33) Jim, who was slave, was superstitious because he believed in witches, he would always keep a five cent piece around his neck to cure anyone with it and that the nickel would fetch witches whenever he wanted. When Jim and Huck both were in the island, Jim goes through some frustrations about leaving his wife and two children. Huck is their and helps Jim by telling him that everything is all right. Huck talks to Jim like he was an ulnae person and not as a slave. One other angle was when Huck and Jim were traveling down the Mississippi River and were thrown off the raft by a strong current. Jim was very scared because he thought Huck was dead. When Huck came back to the raft he asked Jim why he didn't waken him up. Jim was scared because he thought Huck was a ghost. Huck was telling Jim that it was just a dream and he was all right. Since Jim is a gullible person he told Huck "oh well that's all right, because a dream does tire a body like everything, sometimes. But that one was a staving dream, (pg99)" When Jim explained the whole story to Huck, Huck felt sorry for Jim. Huck felt that he could almost kiss Jim's foot to get him to take it all back. For about fifteen minutes Huck humbled himself to a black man who was Jim and Huck was never sorry for doing so. Like when Nat Hentoff said, "look at that Huck Finn, Reared in racism like all the white kids in town. And then, on the river on the raft with Jim the most honest, perceptive, fair-minded man this white boy has ever known"(pg365) What Hentoff mentions here is true because, both Jim and Huck simply relied on themselves to get by. Whever Huck got in trouble, poor Jim is there to mourn, cry or rescue he's good old pal Huck Finn. Both Huck and Jim worked together on the raft to travel down the river. There is no denying the rightness of Huck's decision to risk his soul for Jim. Since Huck travels with Jim down the river he acquires for poor Jim. "Since Huck prefers to go to hell because he's helping Jim, this has little to do with any respect he has gained for Jim as a human being with an inalienable right to be owned by no one"(pg367) As both Huck and Jim travel down the Mississippi River Jim acts like a father to Huck because he allows the boy to sleep when he should stand watch guard on the raft. Jim gives the affection that Huck never receives from his real father. By this time Huck respects Jim as a friend and as a person. Since the book takes us back to the 1850 many people were accustomed to what was going on back then. But since, it's the new millennium many people are discussed with the book Adventure of Huckleberry Finn because it brings down the African American people. But Huck and Jim looked to be best of friends because they went through a lot of bad things and both of them helped each other out. In my opinion I think that it should be taught in schools so people could know how two different people from different races, ages and cultures came together to help each other through rough and tough times. Through their perseverance they manage to come out on top.

As a firearms enthusiast, there are times when disassembly is required for cleaning or minor repair. Unfortunately, it is difficult to locate decent documentation for a partciular rifle, beyond the little postage stamp size booklet that comes with the firearm. This is a BIG book.

After buying numerous disassembly books, including the "NRA Firearm Assembly", I can honestly say "Sporting Rifle Take Down and Reassembly" is by far the best.

The book covers 52 common rifles and basic variation of the same, including popular military rifles like: German and Swedish Mausers, 1917 Enfield, 1903 Springfield and the M1. There are Winchesters dating back to classic lever actions, H&R, Colt, Marlin, Rugers, Remingtons, Sakos, Savage, Winchesters and Weatherby's. The book opens on Browning.

Instructions cover complete disassembly, not just field stripping, and all steps are clearly illustrated with quality black and white photography, parts lists and required tools.

With help from this book, and about 15 minutes, I was able to finally reassemble a Nylon 66 from a 20 year old collection of parts in a shoe box. Excellent book.

This book was authored in the years 1960 to 1961 by my father, Edward Clarke Prud'homme, now deceased. As one of few master engravers existing in the world even at that time, the book was hailed by enthusiasts and critics.

However, this current issue was not authorized for reprint by the estate and, as such, is not endorsed as an original work.

Mah daddy shud ah red dis buk afore he poked a stick doun de barrel of his 303. Cus den he mait be alaive turday n ay cud be ejukated. But it wus not to be. Now he is RIP en ah got de rifle.

Ah clean it careful to get rid of the crud, like it say in de book. De nice lady in the librery done red it fer me.

Ah int dead yit.

This book is one when you start reading you just can't put it down. It'll make you laugh and cry. It is a very good story and makes you feel like your right there.

I really enjoyed this happy, silly book. Gun Fu takes place in 1936. Cheng Bo Sen is our hero, a Hong Kong cop sent by the Queen of England to battle the Nazis. Cheng speaks in a hip-hop way (nobody in the story notices) that can be off-putting (as the reader, I certainly noticed). If you can excuse the hip-hoppy-ness, you'll find a fun story with some absolutely terrific artwork that moves things along nicely. Which brings up: The cover is by somebody other than the interior artist and, honestly, the interior artist is terrific. Much better than the cover guy. Absolutely recommended.

This book is an outstanding reference on Federal firearms laws and assisted in completion of my Master's thesis on gun control. This text is not a position reference for either the pro and anti side of gun control. For convenience purposes, I ordered this revised addition and passed on my previous edition. I highly recommend this book to anyone that needs to research firearms laws or wants familiarity with Federal laws.
