"This, the second volume of the [How to Buy] series, is the joint work of two enthusiasts. Mr. A.H.

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.
