The Harrison book is kinda bound like that. But because I've never looked inside of it I can't say for sure. "Interesting" looking sight though.

deldriver your correct its " The M1 Carbine 3 " by J. C. Harrison

I always suspect items like this where the photos are so poor even the most obvious features can not be seen.

Harrisons book is probably the worst book to use for a reference book. It has never been updated and is filled with bad and or outdated information. The next would be Larson's as it has pictures of fake parts which made the parts seem to be real ones while of course they are not.
His company sells these fake parts as real ones just like his friend George on the left coast.

imntxs564, That web site US Carbines Cal 30.com? It has quite a bit of bad information on it too.

Even though not used or trusted as 100% factual, I have both in my library. But I have to switch that order. For me, showing pictures of fake parts as real for monetary gain, tops outdated or poor information. Harrison wasn't pushing fake parts.

I concentrate researching in two areas. With Ruth's (War Baby) books, and his earlier softbound book (M1 Carbine Design, Development & Production) you see a progression of updates and changes from one to another. As well as the Carbine Club newsletters. Subjects that were printed from the start (continuous since Nov 1976) have gone through updates as additional information has been discovered.

I recommend these as two of the most informative and correct information sources available.

I dont have the book but i saw the the book at Discount Books. I didn't care for the engineering type photos. I just Remembered the name. Go Easy.

Libraries are usually set up to one's personality. Some have a passing interest and only want/need a quick reference, others a more detailed explanation may be desired. Nothing wrong with either approach. It's what works for that person.

Unfortunately for some, the internet is not always the "give all" of free or accurate information. So many of us invest in personal libraries.

It can add up. I know I can find a good original carbine for what I have spent on books. Then again, I wouldn't know if it was original if I didn't have my books. A conundrum of sorts, maybe like the chicken or the egg.
