Hemingway's Guns

[Frostbite]

Great book with a lot of detail and pictures you can't find anywhere else.

Fairly expensive but worth it to me.

I highly recommend it.

I'm now reading Mary Hemingway's autobiography and trying for info on the 6.5 Mannlicher she used in Africa.

She had a lot of problems with her shooting but it seems it was only with the 6.5 which was a loaner and not in the best of shape. I'm trying to figure out if her problems were just due to the condition of the rifle.

I'll report on that book when I finish it.

Fairly expensive but worth it to me.

I bought it few years ago, price was not worth mentioning then. If I remember correctly, it was around 50 USD, plus or minus.

Yes, good read, recommended!

One of my favorite books! Very well researched and documented. it is worth every penny if you are a Hemingway fan, firearms enthusiast or just a bust out hunter like me. On a related side note, my duck hunting partner gave me his grandfathers Model 12. Upon reading the book, I found that serial number correlation between Hemingway's Model 12 from 1928 and my buddies grandfathers Model 12 showed that they were built at the factory at the same time. The same craftsmen that made Hemingway's shotgun also built mine. I know, dorky story but its neat stuff like that I like to trace back...

For me, that's kind of expensive.

I try to get books for a dollar at estate sales and rummage sales.
