I agree with lauchlin that the price info isn't great, but I buy the bluebooks to know when various models of airguns were made. I have already ordered the 13th edition.

if you TOFTT then we could keep asking you what our guns were listed at.
I seem to recall browsing through old versions of Blue Book on line somewhere.

I have never seen one.

Anyone know where I could look thru one on the internet? Any edition would do. Just what to get a feel of what's in it.

I have the 9th and 12th edition. Expensive, but worth every penny to me...
As noted, pricing is not particularly accurate for the Canadian market, but it gives SOME relative value between models. Adding the exchange rate between $US and $CDN helps.
On par with the original Gun Digest series, I find them incredibly useful to learn more about specs and manufacturing dates for some of the more obscure guns I come across. Collectors of all levels would benefit from a copy.
That said, each edition updates the previous one, so you don’t need buy EVERY one...

Ebay also sometimes has them, but it’s a bit hit and miss.
