As a non romantic reader I look for writing that gives new insights, or new perspectives, and also whether the writer has added to the overall knowledge of the subject.
Dr Andrew Jones on ballistics does both.
Greener puts you in the gunmaking picture better than most.
Crudgington and Baker provide information on the development of double guns, the hard stuff that others usually omit, and thanks to them the true creators and inventors are credited.
Gought Thomas and Geoffrey Boothroyd over the years provided new perspectives. I kept in touch with both, perhaps I am biased, but others also value them, so maybe not.
