Is this worth Buying???

[richapollo]

I'm wanting to further my knowledge of the Vickers, and other Maxim type firearms - especially the M1910 Russian Maxims. Is the Book, The Devil's Paintbrush - Sir Hiram Maxim's Gun (The Expanded Edition) By Dolf L. Goldsmith, any good? Does it cover the Russian Maxim or early Vickers???

'The Devils Paintbrush' is the ultimate book on the Maxims. For the Vickers you need Dolf's other book 'The Grand Old Lady of No-Mans Land'. Both of these books are encyclopaedic in their text and illustrations.
