I would categorize this as the definative official book on miniature 2mm pinfire guns, also know as "The Tiniest guns" The first edition of "The Tiniest Guns" was put together with the help of many collectors to fill a need for information on 2mm pinfire, rimfire and Berloque pistols. It was only 64 pages. The 2nd edition was 128 pages.
The new, revised Third Edition has increased in size to 160 pages, and over 600 images. All of the chapters have been expanded, and there is much new information on the guns of Austria, Austrian Rifles, Austrian Revolvers, Austrian Automatics, France & Belgium Revolvers, Germany, German Revolvers, German Rifles, Japan, Japanese Rifles, Mexico, U.S.A., Unmarked, Customized & One of a Kind, Cases, Ammunition, Patents, Bibliography, Miniature Arms Collectors/Makers Society, Index.

There are drawings, plans, diagrams and patent drawings of many of the major styles of guns. There is a 12 page chapter on "Making Your First Pinfire", which has step by step instructions on how to make a pinfire using simple tools.
