I bought this book based on reviews I've read. I couldn't be more disappointed. The book, despite being the 9th edition published just two years ago, is woefully dated. Granted, the "art" of reloading doesn't change as rapidly as ... say ... cell phone technology, but 99% of the information in the book could have been written 50 years ago ... or more. In my opinion, the book would be more aptly titled "The history of reloading", rather than it's current title. My opinion is based on:
* The entire book, except for it's covers, is in black and white, with poor quality printing & binding.
* The images (both pictures and drawings) are crude, of poor quality, and seem to be from an era "well before my time" (and I'm 52).
* The data & specs offer almost NO consideration to much of the firearm advancement of recent decades ... again, a surprise since this edition was recently published.
* Over 54% of the book's chapters are reprints of articles from Gun Digest from 1947-1980 ... nothing newer. (Has nothing happened in the last 32 years?)
* I found several errors ... and not just typos and grammar errors ... but true technical errors. After finding my third error, I started highlighting and correcting them so that they would stand out if my copy of this book was ever re-read.
If you're a stone-cold novice, and know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about reloading, this might be an interesting read (especially if you're interested in history) .... but for me, I chalk this up to being a great disappointment. There is one statement in the book worth quoting: "Buyer Beware"

I would buy this book in paper back. It's a really good book with a wealth of information. However, I would avoid the Kindle edition at all costs. It starts out okay, but the illustrations on reloading handgun ammunition were out of order and I noticed some sections from the handgun chapters were a direct copy and paste from the rifle section.
I really wanted to give this book a five star, but it's hard to follow the author's instructions when the pages and illustrations are out of order. I even tried changing my font settings to the smallest font and went from portrait to landscape mode. It's just a bad conversion from print to digital.
