Important books to have...

What are some important books for every gun collector/enthusiast to have?

I know that a Blue Book, Numrich parts, and Brownells are a must, especially if you have to do repairs or buy and sell alot.

I think a that Shotgun News and Gunlist are pretty important too. Its good to know how much the gunshop paid for the guns on special.

I also like Cartridges of the World by Frank C. Barnes. Ive used it alot to help out people on the forum.

    Wildcat cartridges, Vol I & II has a good bit of historical information on cartridges.

    Books on your specific firearms interests, such as The Standard catalog of S&W or The 99.
