WOW! This book is huge. I just got my yesterday. If you want an excellent Coffee Table book on HK subguns with countless close-ups photos of the MP5 series, accessories, and past brochures, this is the book you want. It also covers other subguns including the UMP & MP7. It's pricey, but I think it's worth it. For the type of book I like, I couldn't be happier.
If you want to read more detailed in-depth info. on the development of the HK subguns, this probably isn't the book you want.
