"This, the second volume of the [How to Buy] series, is the joint work of two enthusiasts. Mr. A.H. Bryden, whose shooting experiences among the big game of South Africa have been the delight of thousands of readers, writes of the rifle; while Mr. Tozer, whose birds have fallen in more homely coverts, deals with the shot gun and its accessories." Contents include: The Rifle - the rifle and its importance, military rifles, sporting rifles, accessories and hints on buying generally. The Shot Gun - hammerless guns, hammer guns, 'fancy guns', second-hand guns, guns of large calibre, repairs and extras, ammunition, shooting paraphernalia, inanimate flying targets, shooting-schools. A scarce and desirable work. .
