Kalashnikov Bayonets The Collector's Guide to Bayonets for the AK and its Variations

by Martin D. Ivie 2012 published by Diamond Eye Publications

What could have been an awesome book.

The information is there, well most of it. It's hard to find some types of information, and the index is weak.

The real killer is the photography- it absolutely is terrible. Even if one can overlook the lack of color correction, almost every single photo- including macro shots for necessary details- is low resolution and pixilated.

Sadly, this is a hearty "Do NOT buy" Maybe they'll do it right next time.
