One of my most beloved and used firearms reference books is Edward Clinton Ezell's 1983 12th edition (rvsd) of the Small Arms of the World. I remember what a big deal it was for my mom to buy a 15 year old kid a $50 book twenty years ago! That book has all but fallen apart over the years of constant page-flipping, which brings me to my question. Is there a more recent and updated editon of this book that I have somehow overlooked? If not, is there any other single reference source (BOOK!) out there that contains as much data and info on military small arms as this book did? These days the web has everything at the click of a button, but to me it's just not quite as satisfying as flipping through the pages of some massive gun book looking for something.
