I finally got the 99 display finished last night and loaded for the Ogden show so had time this morning to look the book over. I haven't found any errors so far. I looks real pretty. Will take some photos at the first opportunity and post them. David

I thought you guys would like to see some pics of the book. Savage #1. I shot these photos at the Julia auction in March 2013. I put barrel addresses and miscellaneous stuff at the end of each chapter. The reloading stuff is for an 1895. I got it from Blair. A page from Chapter 3 I included pics of Enock Tue's engraving A page from Chapter 4

More pics. Rick's 99H's in ch. 5 and the beginning of the 99K section Gary provided some of his vintage pics. The publisher used one at the beginning of each chapter. 17 of them appear in appendix D. A page from Ch. 7, the modern stuff. Ch. 8 covers the interview w. Ronald Coburn, his rifles, why he had to discontinue the 99 and my final comments. The lovely lady is Ron's wife Barbara. David

The bad news is that the book doesn't fit the $5.95 envelope. I went to the U.S.P.O. and here is what I found out. YOU GUYS WHO ARE PREPAID ARE GOOD TO GO. I'LL EAT THE DIFFERENCE. The 12 1/2 X 19 Priority Mail shipping for one book is $7.35 and the envelope costs $2.59. I'll have to charge $69.00 for priority mail for one book. It's an extra $2.50 for 2 books. I'll charge $131.00 for 2 books. The book rate is $3.72 so I'll charge $63.00 for one. It'll take longer for you to get your book. Then we go to medium flat rate boxes for 3 or 4 books. They are $13.45 so 3 books will be 3x$60 plus 13.45 = $193.45.. I'll ship 3 for $190.00 and 4 for $250. For 5 or more books it will take a large flat rate box which is $18.75. I'll add $14.00 to whatever the price is for the number of books for this quantity. I'm not happy about this. I had hoped that we could keep it simple with one rate for shipping. Again you guys who have already paid don't owe any more. It looks like 1st class to Canada is $24.50 and New Zealand/Australia is $33.50. But it may be more or less. We won't know until I take the package in to the P.O. If it's less I'll send a refund with the book. If it's more I'll eat the difference. NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS!!! BIG DRUM ROLL!!! I talked to my editor this morning and they expect the truck to arrive at the publishers with the books tomorrow or Friday at the latest!!! I've prepaid for 200 books and they will ship them within a few days of receiving them. They estimate 4 days shipping time from Pa. to Wy. and said I may have them by next Friday. Anyone wanting to prepay please use the above rates and send a check to: David Royal, P.O. Box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941 or paypal to wyomingsavage1895 gmail.com. Please send it to a friend so I don't have to pay the fee and contribute money to paypal's anti-gun agenda. Thanks, David

I told David to go ahead and mail my book via media mail (book rate). It's a lot cheaper than Priority Mail, and only takes a day or two longer to get there. Any way to beat the PO at their own game works for me, and softens the postage blow they delivered David.

amazon and B&N are both still carrying it at a discount. B&N gives a delivery date of May 28th. amazon doesn't give a delivery date.
