About This Item
Washington DC: The American Ordnance Association, 1959. Pamphlet. Unpaginated, about 32 pages, illustrated with diagrammatic or line-drawn plates each showing an abundance of related ammo outlines (startlingly various). Softbound, title page in blue and black, a fine-press treatment on splendid paperstock (staplebound, but so be it), untrimmed text leaves, cover of dark-blue textured stock with titling in silver-foil. Handsome pamphlet format measuring 10.5x8 inches. Booklet has tiny corner-tip turns and faint sunning to spinefold, the only blemishes. Item is provided with a minimalist colophon on copyright page. Sound, clean and unmarked: very good to fine condition.
