Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Just published and in stock now - limited quantities available! More than five years have passed since this book project, 'Ars Mechanica, a history of Fabrique Nationale (FN)', began. Many assumed that Ars Mechanica was to be an update to Auguste Francotte and Claude Gaier';s work, 'FN 100 Years'. However, any resemblance to previous FN history books is at best superficial. Ars Mechanica is by far the most detailed and comprehensive work on the subject. FN and Browning collectors have eagerly awaited the book';s release, and their patience will be richly rewarded. Ars Mechanica will come as a pleasant surprise to many, and will exceed all expectations. The book recounts FN's rich history like no other. Its title, 'The Ultimate FN Book' is no mere marketing ploy. Ars Mechanica is illustrated with over a thousand photographs, many previously unpublished, and is a visual feast for any FN and Browning collector. For many it will introduce FN not only as the ultimate arms maker but reveal its rich history in bicycle, motorcycle and automobile manufacturing among many other successful product lines. These products, like the arms that bear the FN logo, were examples of technical excellence. FN';s vehicle products held a number of world speed records, and continue to fuel the passions of motorcycle and automobile collectors. The authors, Francotte, Auguste, Gaier, Claude, and Karlshausen, Robert, have done a magnificent job representing all facets of FN';s history, including its factories and affiliates such as Winchester and Browning. Many will recognize Mr. Claude Gaier, the well-known arms expert and curator of the Liège Arms Museum. His excellent book 'Five Centuries of Liège Gunmaking' is still in high demand today, but sadly is out of print and no longer available in English. This is a limited-edition printing of the English language version with over 500 color photos. 10 X 13 3/4 inches, hardcover with dust jacket with dust jacket, color photos, illus, 576 pages.…
