Jeff Cooper's Personal Library

[mdrisc85]

While doing some personal reading on some of Jeff Cooper's less known writings I found a reference to a catalogue of his personal library in an Excel format compiled I believe by Paul Kirchner. Sadly the link I found is broken and not sure of the current status of the site.

I always enjoyed and respect Cooper's education and wide range of references to works of all kinds and thought it might be fun to take a look and see how my own collection stands up.


Probably a long shot but know there are many Gunsite alums on THR, any chance someone has a copy of the catalogue they wouldn't mind sharing?

Many thanks!

I tried to find it on web.archive.org but it looks like that URL wasn't saved.

Looks like you can email the site author though. It's had some updates in the last few months, so it may still be active.

Big collection. Mine is probably bigger (over 120 shelves in one room alone), but more oriented towards the American Civil War, WW II, naval and aviation history.

No help, just a memory. In 1979 I and 3 others from Utah sat in the Colonel's library in his amazing fort like home and planned the '79 IPSC Nationals to be held in Utah at the SLPD range. I was amazed at the number of books and so many adventure novels that I had read and loved growing up. After we were treated to a tour of his vault like gun room. Thanks for poking my memory.
