I decided to buy this book because is is a comprehensive look into the oldest business in the world. Beretta is nearly 500 years old and is still at the forefront of elegance and design of firearms. This book includes thousands of color photos of the history and guns that have made beretta famous and beloved by millions of sportsman around the globe. The craftsmanship first got me to purchase of the firearms and it lit a fire that still burns and many guns later beretta is number one in my gunsafe. This book is worth the money it is thick, heavy and well made hardcovering ensures it last. The content is fantastic and brings the reader into the beretta world from the first barrels to the presant over/under shotguns that dominate compitition. Well written and for the collector like me it shows the genius and thought behind some of the most well known designs.Read full review
I purchased this book for a friend, I already have a copy and we both have Beretta shotguns. Whilst this may not be a book you will read from cover to cover first time round it is a book that is difficult to stop referring to, often just for pleasure on a weekly basis. It is well compiled, easy to follow and beautifully presented, with outstanding colour plates and almost more information than I would have thought possible from any company other than one trading since 1526. If this work has a downside it is that Mr Wilson had at some stage to finish it, hopefully this is only temporary as Beretta is still going strong and a reprint and update will be required in due course as my Beretta model is not covered. A great reference work for anyone interested in Beretta.
If you are a fan of guns epecially Beretta, You will love this book. It tells the history of the oldest gun manufacturer from the beginning to today. Mind you, the book was written a few years ago, but still a fantastic book. It has vivid pictures and best of all, you save alot of money. I believe the book normally sold for $85.00 which I picked up for alot less. This is book is worth buying.
