I found a book, it is hard cover first printing, 1969 [Lugers at random] by charles kenyon jr. in exc. condtion. the asking price a the antique store is 20$. is that a good price for this book? and is it a good book? It is not as detailed as I would like but has some very good general information.

That is a good price for the book, particularly in excellent condition. Even though the quality of the photos is not up to today's standards and some of the information is outdated, the book remains the best beginners guide for Luger variations in a concise and cataloged format.
