It would probably be easier to e-mail her at this point, as I suggested to RevMike (who had, by the way, already pre-ordered): riflesandrecipes  gmail.com.

Looking forward to getting it. I finished Steve's book already, but it's in a handy spot for further reference, as are GGI & II.

Great, looks like I'll be adding GG3 to go with number one and two that I already have!

Also, Eileen set up the website at least a couple weeks ago to be able to pre-order GG3. Go to the home page and you'll see the cover of the book on the upper left-hand side. Click on that and follow the prompts to order.

I preordered the gun gack 3 through the website a couple weeks ago. If anyone hasn't yet I would strongly recommend it . I also got the shotguns for wingshooting which I really enjoyed. The day after I finished shotguns I found askins the American shotgun and shotguns by Keith on the clearance rack at the local used book store. I'm taking finding those and your sale on bird hunting books as a sign from above that it's intended that I buy a new shotgun.

It turns out the printer's hopes of getting them to us last week were optimistic--but they just confirmed they're being printed and packaged, and will be shipped by the end of this week. They should show up here (and be mailed to those who pre-ordered) by around the middle of next week.
John, I think I've figured out none of your books are available in softcopy through Kindle, Nook, Play, etc. Tell me, if that's wrong but... If true, you might consider adding that route to your distribution system. I have no clue what costs might be, and how that might affect your returns. I suspect you might find a sizeable niche market in those of us who can't always easily deal with hardcopy books (e.g., while traveling and so forth), and especially those of us who might be approaching our "final downsizing" -- but who still have at least one foot out and can still enjoy a good read... in large (customizable) type sizes. Regards, -Chris

Ranger4444,
Thanks for your suggestion, but we did some research into e-books some years ago, which has been discussed before on this forum. There are two ways to do it, but one can be easily pirated. The more secure option often results in garbled numbers, and most of our books involve reloading data or wild game recipes, that's not an option either. Sorry!

Ah. Didn't realize there were still technical issues like that. Too bad.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers, -Chris

Like a lot of Loonies, our MD hasn’t embraced current technology completely. 🥴
Quite understandable really, given his historical ramblings introducing the topic ,
and putting the subject into contextual focus.
Setting the stage as it were. I don’t find it tedious now that I’ve come to expect some historical coddling.
Will G3 be the same size ( & mass) as it’s predecessors ?
Is there a sneak preview of the Table of Contents to entice us ?
So many questions ...
😏

Good news.
I blew through GG2 and Obsessions entirely too quickly. Fortunately, my old brain will probably soon lose enough of what was banked that they'll be fresh reads again in short order.
What fresh Hell is this?

😏 Go to the website's home page, and you'll see GG3's cover on the left side. Underneath the photo and price info, there are two options: Add To Cart, or Show Details. Click on Show Details, and scroll down. You'll see a prompt for the Table of Contents. Click on it. GG3 doesn't have quite the same "mass" as the previous two Gun Gacks. If I recall correctly it has around 380 pages, and the first two have around 430. But the number of words is about the same, around 105,000, because the final section of the book ("Questions From The Campfire") doesn't have many photos.

I like this new feature on your website. Thanks for once again pointing me in the right direction.
Looking at the TOCs of the previous Gacks and Obsessions, makes me realize there’s lots to go back and review in anticipation.
Thanks

You're welcome!
I would also suggest that the "gun gack" content of this one might be even denser than the previous two, partly because of the Campfire questions. (Eileen tends to call it something other than gun gack privately, but then I point out that SHE came up with the idea of calling them Gun Gack books in the first place, after a term originated by our friend Mark Dobrenski, who used to post here.)
