A newbie to the world of .30-30's would be well advised to read the stuff that exists. Researching and then reading the old articles from the 20's to the present, and all the .30-30 info in all the books published in the same period would expand one's horizons on the subject far and away more than if yet another book was written. I will almost guarantee you there won't be any heretofore unknown knowledge of the .30-30 included in said book or article, with the possible exception of advances in powders/bullets. (And there lies five lifetimes worth of experiments with the .30-30 without even touching on the bullet/powder innovations of the last decade.)
Besides, it's a heckuva lot of fun doing the research into the old publications- and you learn about other stuff along the way too.
