M1 Garand book

[Andy]

A friend of mine is fairly new to firearms and is very interested in M1 Garands. I can see an infatuation growing here. (I consider this a good thing)

Anyway, his birthday is coming up soon and I'd like to get him a good book on Garands. I've seen some decent reviews on Amazon of Jim Thompson's books. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Remember, he's just starting, so a good mix of history, facts, pics and identification would be great. Not too dry, not to comic-book.

Thanks!!

"M1 Garand: Owners Guide" by Duff is pretty good.

On your recommendation, I'll have to order the Canfield book. I already have two carbine books, but one can't have too many books, can one ? Thanks.

Do you have War Baby! The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Vol. 1? That is the best M1 Carbine book available.

Stop it! Now I have to buy that one, too .
