I just now ordered it on Amazon.
Really looking forward to this.
I did not see, is this hard cover?
If not, I sure would be willing to pay a premium for a hard cover version. Real collectors piece.

It's hardcover. I've enclosed a photo of pages 18 & 19. They sent it in a PDF file so I had to print it and then photograph the print. It looks much better in real life. Photobucket can't take PDF's. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a550/wyo1895/IMG_1850_zpsebxe4yzv.jpg)

Haven't heard anything from the publisher since late Jan. when they promised me copies by early May. Amazon and B&N are saying it will be available May 28 from them. David

Wife just came in with the mail. Would you believe it contained the preliminary copy of the book and a bottle of Pennsylvania wine? They sent the wine so I could celebrate. The book looks real good. Pics are clearer than the ones in the PDF layout files. In fact they are outstanding. The letter says that the copies that I order will be delivered in 6 to 8 weeks and that I can order them at any time.
I'll have it at the Utah Gun Collector Association show at the Weber County Fairgrounds in Ogden, Utah, this weekend if anyone wants to see it up close and personal. David

HIP HIP HOORAY, just in time for my Birthday. Now I know what to tell the kids to get me. Thanks David, for all of your hard work, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

How are you going to shoot that 99 with the tie wrap on it?
Congratulations, David.
Can't wait to get my copy.

That's a 1929 vintage 99A 30-30 that I display at gun shows. For some reason they want ties on them. They're already tied to the display stand so I don't know why they need the lever tied too. Now I remember, one show promoter said someone could chamber a round and shoot a hole in the roof.
I'm up to my butt in alligators getting ready for the show this weekend. I built new stands and had to redo everything else to match. I'll post more photos of the book next week.
