    Default Getting closer

    Here is a link to the "preview" just posted on CreateSpace who will be printing my new book, hopefully within a couple of months. Feedback (on their form - so as to build up credibility with them - as well as any informal comments here) greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes - I AM aware there are a couple of minor typos, etc. - decided to try their Preview thing on a whim, in a bit of haste, late at night!

    It appears you are going to have a very useful and attractive reference, Dick Hosmer. I am looking forward to purchasing an autographed copy from you for the Holidays!

    Well, it's been an "experience" (including losing my editor/publisher who wanted to reduce his backlog of commitments) and took way longer than I thought it would (since my discipline was lousy and I kept accumulating guns and tidbits of info) but, here it is - Look for it on Amazon towards the end of the month, ASSUMING nothing comes up in their final review process, currently under way. 325 pages, hundreds of photos ......... $24.95.

    I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy Dick. I like the way you integrated the full rifle pics vertically. Nice touch and better use of text space. I will be ordering a copy!

    Update: CreateSpace (Amazon) has approved the files for printing! All that needs to be done now is one final fly-speck pass through the physical proof (on its' way to me) and my sign-off. Book should definitely be available for purchase on Amazon before the end of the month. As things progress, I will obtain, and maintain, a small stock for the purpose of local sales, and being able to provide autographed copies to those who desire same. This will take a little more time to set up.

    Thanks to all for your help, patience, and support.
