Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Just a picture catalog.
Review: Although the book has high quality pictures of some gorgeous guns that will leave you with water dripping from your mouth, it is very insufficient to provide any useful information on the maker or the customizer of any of those guns.

Keep in your mind that you are buying a picture book and you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is outstanding
Review: For anyone contemplating the order of a custom gun, this book is a must. Crystal clear pictures in color of mouthwatering rifles, shotguns and handguns. Have your Kleenex handy!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A work of art about works of art.
Review: Tom Turpin has masterfully created the definitive book on "the art of weaponry(Guns)". The photos are spectacular. The text is informative. Tom Turpin has brought an art form, which rarely gets any attention, into the spotlight. I highly recommend this book. Bravo Tom Turpin....and thank you.

Summary: Good pictures, mediocre text
Review: Very nice color photos of beautiful weapons, but a scanty and not very interesting text written in a style straight out of the mass-market gun mags.

Summary: A book for anyone that admires fine craftsmanship.
Review: While the subject matter of the book is custom firearms, I believe that anyone who appreciates and admires fine hand craftsmanship will enjoy the book. It is filled with outstanding color photographs illustrating the various aspects of crafting a custom firearm. There are a handful of craftsmen and artisans out there in the US today that are turning out work that is so good that it boggles the mind. Each time I see a piece that I believe cannot be bettered, it isn't long until I come across one that "raises the ante again." I know that the subject of firearms is sometimes a politically incorrect subject in many circles. However, fine hand artistry in wood and metal is not, regardless of the object of that craftsmanship.
