Default S&W book

Have seen a lot of references to a Smith and Wesson book for looking up serial numbers. I saw one today in the Books-a-million store. It looked to be maybe four or five hundred pages and sold for about $42 and some change but don't remember the title other than something about collecting. Could this be the same as the one everyone refers to when guns are queried?

If it was The Standard Catalogue of Smith and Wesson. 3rd edition or earlier, snag it. They are kinda hard to come by.

Thanks, Rags. You saved me doing it. I'd love for them to get it available for the Kindle. Much easier to take it with you to a show that way.

Is this it? Even if you're not a "collector" it's a great book and IMO a must have for a S&W enthusiast.
