Book Reviews of Blue Book of Gun Values: 29th Edition
Book Review: Definitely for the Professionals
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book so that we could estimate the value of our collection for insurance purposes.
I was really surprised at how poorly it was laid out. Simple things, like alphabetization, are not what I would expect in a standard reference book. For example, did you know that 'CZ' comes before 'CA'? Neither did I. In this book, names with abbreviations go first even when they spell out to a different order or if they don't stand for anything at all.
Also, and the main reason for the 3 star rating, is that we had a lot of trouble determing the value of some of our older, military guns. For example, a 1943 Czech Mauser imported through International Arms. There is no listing for International Arms as the importer and, while there is a whole section on Mausers, that we used for other Mausers, Czech ones are listed under the CZ section. I think we finally found the right entry, but I'm not positive about it.
Overall, we probably found the entry we were looking for quickly and easily in about 75% of the cases. The other 25% were a challenge and we're not entirely sure we found the right value.
Ultimately, this is what the professionals use. If you want or need the same reference that they are using, this is the book to get. Just be warned that it isn't the most straightforward of reference books. If you are just a curious, casual user they may be better choices out there.
