Thumbs up Books on sale recommendation ...

Whenever I'm out and about, I try to stop by Barnes & Noble to check the discount rack for deals. I used to shun B&N for Borders, as the latter's prices were much lower, but since Borders went under, B&N is the only mass bookseller in my area. (Amazon is still my 1st choice for book buying).

Over the past month, B&N's discounted titles have included at least two dozen firearms specific books, with some at considerable savings over publisher's price. The best deal I found to bolster my personal library is "The Last Gunfight" by Jeff Guinn for ~ $7.00. It's a historical chronicle of Tombstone's founding and early days, as well as the background and build-up to the OK Corral. Lots of interesting facts and information not usually found in television or other accounts of the infamous shoot-out, and the author has done an impressive amount of research.

Well worth the nominal investment, and an excellent read.

Yup, I've found several of the big coffee table type gun books there for less than $10.00...
