Finally pulled the trigger (Doh!) on Gun Gack last night. Had a very pleasant chat with Eileen, as my computer or the website (or both) weren't on cordial terms. But, I enjoyed the talk more than I enjoy computer keys. Looking forward to settling in with the book.

Eileen has quite a few regular callers, who obviously prefer talking to her rather than Internetting. One interestind side-effect is we get to keep up with what's happening with hunting in various parts of North America!

One interestind side-effect is we get to keep up with what's happening with hunting in various parts of North America! John, I've always been impressed with Eileen's honesty. I ordered a book several years ago and inadvertently ordered two. rather than ship two of the same books, she took the time to call me and ask whether I meant to order 2 and corrected the order. Excellent service.

Yep, great lady to talk to and very helpful. After all, she's put with John all these years...  I got my order in before the deadline. Even found out it was 30*'s that day, not terribly cold. DF

Ordered "The Life of the Hunt" and "Born to Hunt" combo since I can't pass up a deal on John's books. Looking forward to reading them.

John I just ordered the BBOGG.
If you wanted to autograph it with something like "To my greatest hero, Bob, the finest rifle shot I ever knew...." that would be fine!
Seriously, if there's a problem with the international postage just give me a yell.
Thanks and all the best.

Eileen will definitely let you know about postage, or any other possible problems. She ships quite a few books to Oz.
Will be happy to sign it however you want, especially with such a straightforward and honest inscription....
We envy your weather this time of year!

Heheh, I'd be thrilled with just an autograph! BTW Mule Deer, while I know that no one likes a skite, its 29 degrees C here at 615pm!

That's a little on the warmish side--but until the past couple of days it hadn't gotten above about -5 Celsius here for a couple of weeks. It hasn't gotten super-cold at night, but even in mid-winter the days are usually above freezing.

Probably! But after about 9:00 this evening (about when the second football game should be over) she won't be answering the phone, though she will call back the next day. A lot of people order off the website--if their computer connection works with it (most do). And you can always send her an e-mail at eileen riflesandrecipes.com.
