I think it's pretty 'general' (it is an Osprey title, and does set out to cover a class of weapons rather than a specific design) - fundamentals of design and major types described, and how the grenade is employed in combat. Not really aimed towards the collector, but some long-overdue attention to this subject is to be welcomed. Just bought and still to read 'Panzerfaust & Panzerschreck' from the 'Weapon' series also.
