Can't recommend it. I have it, but it's too much for someone who just wants to get into smokepoles. BTW, I like the
Gunsmith of Grenville County better. For caplock rifles, Ned Roberts'
The Muzzle Loading Cap Lock Rifle is hard to put down. It's a page turner and you will learn a lot of stuff that is also relevant to flintlocks. I like Sam Fadala's book as a beginner book and it is readily available used (and cheaper because of it).
