"It's a Daisy!" book is back in print!

by Tom Gaylord

Every new Daisy collector has to have this book that highlights the history of Daisy from the start through 1976. The author is Cass S. Hough, grandson of the founder of Daisy and, parenthetically, the first pilot to break the speed of sound.

Please buy several!
The original paperback book has been selling for $60-100, because so many people are interested in this subject. Here is a chance to get one for under $10 - something that probably won't happen again for another 30 years. If you buy several you'll have spares to sell at high prices in five years when people start asking where the book is again. Daisy has made this a 30th anniversary edition, which means there is a limited printing. When they're gone, they're gone for good and the prices start to climb again.

You can buy your copy(s) at the Daisy Museum store. They don't have a shopping cart, but just call 479 - 986 - 6873, 10 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday.


A book every BB gun enthusiast must have!


To protect collectors, this book is marked as a special edition, so we'll always be able to tell it from the first printing. And to protect the book, it was made 1/8-inch wider so the gutters could be larger. The original books often cracked at the spine from being opened too far.

This book has provided me with inspiration for my writing ever since it was first published. There are behind-the-scenes anecdotes on how Daisy grew, some of the competition they battled and even how certain pivotal decisions were made. If you have an interest in BB guns you must read this "It's a Daisy!".
