Title: Must read for Two-piper fans
Review: Michael McIntosh is one of the "Good Guy" writers with enough experience with vintage break guns to be credible, an engaging writing style, and an appropriate sense of scope so that this never becomes a tome. A real must read for two-piper fans.that you'll refer to again and again.,

Title: A must have book for the old classic side by side enthusiast.
Review: Michael McIntosh was a connoisseur of the side by side. He lived and breathed hunting with these old classics and has forgotten more than most of us will ever know about the mechanisms and handling characteristics of the best guns made here and abroad for the past 100+ years. If you have a soft spot for the nostalgia of owning and using classic side by sides you'll love this book.

Title: Excellent book, but a little brief in some areas.
Review: Purchased this book about 10-12 years ago and I regularly grab it off the shelf as one of my primary reference books for double guns. Sadly Michael McIntosh left this world back in 2010, but he was and will always remain one of America's foremost shotgun writers. My only complaint on this book is that the information is very limited for many of the Spanish and Italian gun makers even though they've been around for many, many decades. As Michael himself eluded to, this was due to his own lack of knowledge on these makers due to their very limited sales here in North America. Fortunately there are other books out there that cover those makers in much greater detail by other authors.

Title: Best Guns
Review: This is a rare gem: well written by the best writer of his and several other generations. He conveys his love of fine guns along with an encylopedic knowledge of the subject. It's a classic: a must have for all who love fine writing, and long days afield with fine dogs and good friends. Well done Michael.

Title: I like this book
Review: McIntosh is a polished writer on classic "best" double barrel shotguns. His coverage of American doubles is enlightening. He has a penchant for Fox guns, but that does not deter his coverage. It is a good read for those with a general or historical interest in double barrel shotguns, domestic or foreign.
