I've got a gift certificate for Amazon and I would like to get some shooting related books.
What do you guys recommend?
After everything else I've got $80 to spend on books.

Ultimate Sniper by some retired reserve major/colonel type was a pretty good read. Wish I had some open fields near here I could practice on.

Hatcher's Notebook is a good one if you don't have it yet.
I made the mistake of loaning somebody my copy and never got it back.
