"Mr. Bourjaily in my mind is the shotgun king . . . My two favorite books on guns/shotgunning are authored or co-authored by Mr. Bourjaily. The Field and Stream's Total Gun Manual & Shotgun Guide are incredible reads and I suggest anyone whether a newcomer or old vet, you should purchase these books." The Shotgun Guide blog
