Communist Bloc Handguns by George Layman

Who sells it and for how much? Seems like an interesting book.

Not sure if am supposed to post the link to the non forum vendor.

So delete if it is verboten.

Do a search and it should pop up first.

This is an excellent book on Eastern Bloc pistols that fills a gaping hole in the literature. I have read the book and wrote a brief introduction to it and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in this area.

I have to ask, is it written in Layman's terms?

yuk, yuk

In spite of the poor pun, I immediately ordered a copy of the book!

Looks like a great book. Thanks for posting, curly.

Just got my copy today and went straight to the Cartridges section, my main area of interest. Gotta say I was very disappointed. Just a rehash of bogus internet myth and just plain bad info, at least in the 7.62x25 Tokarev section. If I get some time I will list out the specific errors of fact, but anyone who really knows their stuff re: Tokarev ammo, will readily see the erroneous entries.
Saw a few more "really-shouldn't-be-there" errors in other sections, but I'll have to go back and confirm those.
