This book is complete with pictures and illustrations. Although the information can be located on line in parts however, having the information readily available as a book is very helpful. I have learned very much from this book. It helps me make smarter decisions as I build my collection of High Standards. I recommend it highly.

This is a very good encyclopedia of all the High Standard pistols, their descriptions, models, collectable comparisons, and a synopsis of models through the years. Best book for the beginning collector or shooting enthusiast.

Great book ! High Standards were one of the great .22 target pistols. Up to the '60's or '70's, even our national pistol matches were said to look like High Standard conventions. Then, the industry (and the company) fell on hard times, and the company went out of business. Reportedly, after some start-up issues, a High Standard company ("re-born" in Texas) is now making some good High Standard pistols again. But, if you're interested in learning all about, or selecting, one of the great High Standard pistols that were made during their glory days in Connecticut, this is the book for you ! There is a bewildering array of generations and variations of these pistols, and this book is the key to teasing out their differences and advantages. This book is a BULLSEYE !
This book contains valuable information for the High Standard collector. I really like the fact that it has serial number identification information and lets you know when your pistol was made. Great book.

An outstanding book. I would recommend reading this prior to the purchase of your High Standard firearm. It helps define the strengths and weaknesses of the various series and models of these fine .22 pistols, so that you can focus on finding the exact model which best suits your needs. The book also contains quick reference charts that are quite useful. Much better than trying to wade through the "blue book" or a more generalized publication.
