Following is a Book review by Mr. Steve McCabe who operates Wordwright Editorial Services Inc. Development of the American Double Gun: A Digest of the Inventors & PatentsCompiled by Larry B. SchuknechtLarry Schuknecht has created an invaluable resource not only for gunsmiths, restoration experts, machinists, stockmakers, firearm historians, curators, and collectors of vintage double guns (including double rifles and drillings) but for anyone seeking a broader understanding of the development and evolution of the American double gun.There's nothing fancy or ornate about this ebook; instead, Schuknecht allows the painstaking result of his research to speak for itself. His book contains detailed biographies (and often accompanying portraits) of more than 320 double gun inventors and gun makers, a chronological list of 736 double gun patents, and, as a bonus, a chapter devoted to U. S. patents issued to German gun makers.But the real value Schuknecht's work lies in the technical data and accompanying graphics he has amassed: detailed schematics, exploded diagrams, parts lists, and cutaway diagrams that illustrate the internal workings of each maker's product. This is an invaluable resource for anyone working on (or in) one of these firearms.This ebook consists of a CD containing 25 separate chapters comprising more than 400 pages, each in a high-resolution PDF file. The entire ebook can be downloaded easily onto a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. Then, using the enlargement feature in Adobe Acrobat Reader or any web browser, the schematics and other graphics can be enlarged to reveal details that would be invisible in a traditional paper copy. As a test, I enlarged some of the schematics to 400% , and the resolution and contrast remained strong and crisp. This enlargement capability will be invaluable to any double gun "smith seeking an authoritative source on how a particular gun was designed and built.Steve McCabe, MFA
