Received my 2 hard covered books today, thanks Rory. Was I asleep at the wheel for a while? Is TomA referring to signed hardcovered books he received or one's ordered from the publisher? Rory if you have hardcovered books in and are signing now, I'll get my check in the mail for signed #28, unless someone who has David's signed #28 has put in a request. Haven't seen any request yet at least here on the forum. If you're not signing hardcover's yet, any idea when you will receive them? I ain't a cat, but as curious as one.

Appreciate the compliments, glad folks are getting it in hand and are liking it. damnesia - Sorry, man.. that cased set must have got lost in the mail. Maybe if you buy a couple more books the next cased set will make it to you. Was I asleep at the wheel for a while?

I ain't a cat, but as curious as one. grin Yep, I have had them in hand for a little more than a week. #28 is still reserved for you whenever you can get the check to me. There's a link to an order form in the original post up top which has prices and my address. You don't have to print out the form and mail it in, a quick note works. A couple folks have overpaid by a bit. So if you find a couple dollar bills or a fiver in your book, you know why now.

Glad you like it, John.
Everything I mailed Friday is delivered, except for gnoaah's and eaglemountain's are being delivered today. So if you paid and you don't have it, tracking shows most of the packages I mailed yesterday will arrive this Friday. Couple might make it on Thursday if you're close to Nebraska.
PS: Sorry.. there's one Alaska package mailed Friday that's still in transit.

The mailman made good on Big Brother's monitoring of my purchases - The Book arrived just now.
I must say it is an excellent little reference volume. My hat is off to you, sir, for a job well done!!
I like your dedication of the book to John Wright. That, Rory, is a distinctive touch of class.

Thank you, sir. It's mostly a book of campfire knowledge... except the postmil stuff. You guys made me (and Keith) look a lot of that up ourselves. i think now books have been ordered from 6 foreign countries. Canada South Africa Australia New Zealand Oregon California Not bad.

Nicely done Rory. Lots of useful info chocked into a small package. Appendix B page 117... it's Siegfried "Rentzschke".

I used Rentzschke's name a lot in my new book. I had to keep looking back to my notes to get it spelled right. It's a hard one to remember. When I was in the Marine Corps we called names like that alphabet names. Sort of looks like a bunch of letters just thrown together. The guy was a hell of an engraver.

Known errors so far. I'm sure the list will grow.
-------------------------------------------------
Errata:
Page 3, Savage 99 Dates – Westfield, MA : Some early 1971 rifles had a Y date stamp, but later rifles in 1971 do not have a date stamp. The Y date stamp is not listed for 1971.
Page 3, Savage 99 Dates - Westfield, MA : The 75th Anniversary’s high serial number is 8300AS.
Page 83, Savage 99T : Footnote ending with “1945” runs into page number “83”.
Page 117, Appendix B : Correct spelling of Siegfried Rentzke’s last name is “Rentzschke”.
