What are the top five "must have" gun books. I have bolt actions 1st and 2nd editions and cartridges of the world. Along with a few books on semiautos. Need more books.

I liked all of Jeff Cooper's books EXCEPT "The Art of the Rifle." He billed it as being THE book for those wanting to learn rifle, and it was basically a beginner's guide to the rifle, just like any Gun Digest type of book. It was expensive, too. Good stuff if you have never shot a rifle, but not your typical Cooper. His other books are good reads. I recommend them. Paladin Press has them.
