Game Gun is an update of an older title that offers the reader a really in-depth look at the classic side-by-side, double barreled shotgun. I would say it would make a perfect book for someone wanting to learn everything he could about the double-gun, but as it turns out, this little book is so much more than that. Actually, the work goes a long way toward explaining just about everything a person could ever want to know about this great gun design.
I would recommend Grozik's book without reservation to anyone who loves double shotguns, whether you are considering buying your first gun, or you already own a hundred shotguns. Why? I'll put it this way, after having worked on and fired all manner of wonderful double shotguns over a thirty year period, I not only learned from this book, I found it to be both engaging, and a sweet read. Normally, I would go into some detail to describe the contents of a book but, in this case; just go out and buy a copy man. It's that good.
And now, this little treasure is going up on the shop bookshelf, where it will become one of my standard references. 'nuff said.
