Headed down to the local
Half Price Books to pick up some more
Patricia Cornwell books today. As usual I browsed the Military/War/Guns section before leaving.
Stuck in the bottom of a cardboard box I found a first edition, two volume set of Interarmco's
International Armament by George Johnson and Hans Lockhoven ca. 1965 complete with an errata sheet and intact dust jackets.
I had never heard of the books but am familar with Interarmco (now Interarms) and their connection with the Garcias and the brush fire wars of 60's. Exercise your Google-Fu on Samuel Cummings and, Interarmco aka Interarms. The books are fairly technically detailed and there is a decent section on the COLT/Armalite AR-15 and the Armalite AR-10 so I took them up the counter to find out the price. The tab was $27 with the two Pat Cornwell books.
Seems
I did rather wellThere is a
second edition now available.
I think this site needs a book section
