I have a Single Shot Poporri, and am thinking I need the rest.

Does anyone know how many there are?

I am primarily interested in Heeren, Hagn, Miller and other falling blocks.

I am also interested in Swiss Martinis, kiplaufs (break open) and Fraser guns.

Any other books I ought to own?

2 - Gibbs
3 - Jeffery
4 - WR
5 - H&H
6 - Webley, Kynoch, Eley
7 - Rook, Rabbit, minitures
8 - later types and Hammerless Models

Awesome!

I ordered a few more. I want to order Mr. Single Shot book of rifle plans, but the only copy I can find for sale is $320.

Don't overlook "The Breech-loading Single Shot Rifle" by Ned Roberts. Not a treatise on the technical design, but wonderful ruminations on performance in the field and in competition by America's greatest rifle crank.

This is what I ended up with on this order:

Mueller, BUILDING A SINGLE SHOT FALLING BLOCK

GRANT, STILL MORE SINGLE SHOT RIFLES

DE HAAS, SINGLE SHOT RIFLES AND ACTIONS

I also ordered the Rifles special on single shots. Hopefully it isn't fully written by Wieland.

Thanks Bill, I'll take a look.
