Looking for a recommendation or three for a good first "primer" on Lugers.

I've got a modest "collection" of good 9mms....Walther (all but an 88); Sigs, S&Ws, and Berettas and all the German Police pistols except the H&K P7 and Astra 600 (I hate recoil and I shoot all I own). Both the 88 and P7 are a bit too rich for my budget.

BUT....I'd be willing to break the piggy bank for a Luger, it's just so iconic, has so much history and, yeah, looks so cool.

So I'd like to read up first and then buy....unless I find a deal, then maybe I'll buy first and read later.....

Looking for a simple shooter.....well used is fine as long as it works perfectly, shoots straight, and won't cause me to sell a grandkid.

So, if I may be so bold, where do I begin? (and I suspect folks get weary answering this question....I try and help newbies on the Walther & S&W boards...so I know how frequently this question gets asked.)
