I found it especially interesting that it included a story of a Thompson submachine gun (also known as Chicago Typewriter).
Auto Ordnance recently resurrected Thompson's design as model 1927A1, and gun collectors and firearms enthusiasts can buy it from select FFL dealers at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, it comes without a violin case.
