La Connaissance du Luger
This book, published in 1996, is the first work of the Belgian author Gérard HENROTIN relating to firearms. It is probably as well, the first firearms book using at this level the new infographical technologies. To succeed in this challenge, many competences had to be gathered, to insure a technically reliable content in a modern and attractive form. These two objectives have been quite well reached in that volume which becomes the French reference on the subject. The choice of the subject was decided after the finding that the Luger pistol was probably the handgun that draws the maximum of interest throughout the world. Many English books are still available but in French, strangely enough, there was rather nothing. The Luger pistol, with various models, its profusion of historical markings, its outstanding mechanical and aesthetical qualities, gathers all the trumps to keep its dominant position in the firearms collecting community. This book was written to first give a clear comprehension of the object and its background, but also to propose the demanding reader a true piece of technical art. You will find in our Luger section, some illustrations drawn from the book which includes some 600 color drawings and 120 pictures. An optional PC diskette showing the Luger cinematic is also available.

Brassey's Essential Guide to Military Small Arms
As a broad treatise on small arms design this volume generally succeeds. It does not include every possible design, but has good coverage of the important ones. Since the main contributors are Czech it's particularly strong on East bloc designs including a few obscure ones, which is an interesting contrast with most Western writings. This book may have origins in a collection of articles but has been well-edited to create a relatively coherent whole. The writing and grammar are generally clear. There are a few places where the language (translations?) is a bit garbled, but the meaning is usually discernable. Arms design generally moves so slowly (compared, say to computers) that I'd say the content is reasonably current. For example, the coverage of modern Gatling designs is probably fresh enough to provide insight into current models. My overall impression is that the scope and background are reasonably broad and technical information is strong. There are lots of detailed formulas describing the physics involved. Given all this and the general difficulty in obtaining good information on small arms design, I recommend this title highly.
