WHITMAN'S 2ND AMENDMENT IMPRINT
Long known in numismatic circles for their classic "Red Book" guide to U.S. coinage, Whitman publishing is branching out to another field. When an email ad arrived earlier this week I had to ask Whitman Publisher Dennis Tucker if it was a joke. It's not - Whitman is extending its Red Book line to guns.

Unlike other gun value guides, A Guide Book of Carry Gun Values is geared toward the consumer. Its clean, glossy aesthetics and layout offer a user-friendly design that makes for quick searching for certain manufacturers and specific models. Want to buy a gun for concealed carry? Check this guide for what you can expect to pay for both used handguns and those currently manufactured. Want to sell a handgun? Learn how to apply the specifications, caliber options, and grading scales for your handgun to get the best price! We include information for many handguns produced between 1898 and today, and the detail and accuracy of information is unsurpassed. Whether buying or selling a carry gun, this is the guide for you. Dennis Tucker adds: 2nd Amendment Media is a new Whitman imprint managed out of our Franklin, Tennessee, office. It focuses on firearms, gun safety, education, etc. I'm not directly involved in its operations. Personally I haven't fired a gun in years. Had a little BB gun when I was a kid, for shooting bottles and cans, and I've practiced with pistols and shotguns. I went to a few gun shows with my Dad when I was a boy --- not too different from a coin show, but with more explosives for sale. I remember a crossover one year, when I found that one of the gun dealers had a briefcase full of foreign coins, loose and unidentified, at 25 cents each. I picked through them all and happily bought a few. At another show a dealer had a tray of “Nazi medals” for sale at $5 – $6 apiece. “As far as I know they're authentic,” he said with the polished vagueness of an experienced shyster, “but I can't guarantee it.” (And this was years before Internet auctions!)
