"Webley Story" vs "Webley Revolvers"

To anyone who's seen both: What's the difference between "Webley Story, A History of Webley Pistols and Revolvers" by William Chipchase Dowell, and "Webley Revolvers" by Bruce and Reinhart? The latter is supposed to be a revised edition (with a much higher price), which suggests improvement, and yet it has noticeably fewer pages.

B&R's book has far better pictures and was published in two books, one for revolvers and one for auto pistols. Higher price for better pictures. It still would not hurt to have both revolver books.

Thanks, breakeyp. That's exactly what I needed to know. There's a copy of the older book available locally, but not cheap enough that I'd take it over a better edition. I'll keep looking.
