Although it is not intended as anything like a comprehensive catalog of variations, most major types and styles are represented. Six pages are dedicated exclusively to copies, fakes and "upgrades". There is a separate 2-page article on relative rarity of awards and number of issues. Last two pages show manufacturers and markings.
Unfortunately, the illustrations are of such poor quality that they are of use only for general type identification. Otherwise this is a rather handy quick reference.
