A new book on the Thompson submachine gun by Tom Davis, Jr.
A Thompson Compendium is a series of in-depth stories about several specific variations of the Thompson gun and accessories.

As you read the book you will find the following information:

The book is filled with numerous color photographs and expansive captions that will teach the Thompson enthusiasts the many important features of the different Thompson variations. While geared toward the beginner or new enthusiast, current Thompson owners and advanced collectors will find a lot of valuable and heretofore unknown and unpublished information.
In addition, dealers that do not specialize in the Thompson guns will be better able to accurately describe the Thompson guns they have for sale. And correctly evaluate Thompson guns offered for trade or direct sale.
