Ken - a lot of peOple have asked that question. When Skyhorse decided to come on-board with the US distribution and publication deal, they initially planned to sell it as it stood.

Then they decided they wanted dollar conversions for the US edition and some American contacts in the back as well as American spelling throughout.

That is the essence of the US edition.It retains all the photos and content of the UK edition.

Oh, and they changed the title to 'VINTAGE GUNS - COLLECTING, RESTORING AND SHOOTING CLASSIC FIREARMS'.
