I haven't seen it yet but at eighty bucks a copy I'd like to know if it's worth it. I just got a catalog from Zenith Books and it is included in the catalog.

Here is what the ad blurb says: "The result of over twenty years of research, this is the most complete account ever published of the life and times of Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis and his crowning invention, the Lewis Automatic Machine Gun. Easterly begins with the work of Doctor Samuel McClean whose water-cooled "Musket Machine Gun" was the basis for the conversion into anair-cooled portable gun by the application of Lewis' patented radiator and sleeve. Includes chapters on accessories for ground and air use.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, how much bang am I going to get for my bucks? is also my question.
Well have any of the millionaires out there bit the bullet and bought it. We could do with a review.

I'm not a millionaire, but I have this book. I was able to peruse the book before I laid down my hard cash. It has just about everything you would ever want to know about the different forms of the Lewis. I quess it just boils down to how badly you want info on this gun. Great book!

thanks steve, All I have to do now is convince the wife to buy me it for christmas!!!!!
