Virtually every chapter and topic covered in Tracie Hill's critically acclaimed 1996 Collector Grade title Thompson: The American Legend has been expanded, and some new ones have been added in order to incorporate a vast amount of important new information augmenting every aspect of the history of the Auto Ordnance Corporation, the Thompson family, and the design and production of the hardware that bears the Thompson name. Much of this priceless new material, including personal memoirs, dimensioned blueprints and other rare memorabilia, has been bequeathed by key people who were intimately involved in the day to day operations of the company.

A truly outsatnding book with a wealth of knowledge not found in any other single publication on the many Thompson related paper items.A must for the serious collector.

Currently out of print and hard to find.  We recommend purchasing "The Ultimate Thompson Book" mentioned above as it is expands on everything in this book.
