Aledo. Illinois: World-Wide Gun Report Inc., 1961-1977. Hardcover. A substantial research library of one of America's classic firearms periodicals. This custom-bound set contains complete yearly runs for 1961–1970, plus 1972 and 1977, with each volume comprising all twelve monthly issues.

The period advertising alone provides a fascinating record of the firearms industry before and after the Gun Control Act of 1968. Each volume is professionally bound, creating a durable reference work far more practical than loose magazines. Together, these 144 issues form an extraordinary encyclopedia of firearms history spanning nearly two decades. Complete bound runs of Gun Report remain scarce. Fine. Item #9656
