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. Hi Rory , How much for 2 paperbacks and a calendar shipped to B.C. ?

Hi Rory , How much for 2 paperbacks and a calendar shipped to B.C. ? I didn't have any calendars drop-shipped here, so I can't mail those out. I had no idea how many might sell.. They have to be ordered off the web site. And I can ship to Canada, but the rates are crazy (to me). It looks like Vancouver, BC would be about $20 shipping, and $53.98 for 2 books - so $73.98 total. The printer is slower, but they are cheaper. They shipped an order to Ontario for $7, so going through them you should be able to get 2 paperbacks ($43.98), calendar ($17.99) and shipping for < $10 hopefully. It just wouldn't be signed books. So $72'ish would get you the books and calendar I think. The downside is that books from the printer won't be signed.

Received my copy today. Pleased with the results. Any photos of the calendar available on this site, other than the one depicted on the order site. Thanks GW

I posted this a while back. 16 months that walk thru each 1899 checkering style and then engraving style. Pictures of guns, and of the artwork used in the 1907 or 1909 catalogs. Not just catalog scans.. Front cover is a picture of the Savage 99 assembly room, late 1930’s. It was brought to my attention that I might have confused folks on the calendar. The cover page is black & white, as would be any 1930's photograph of the factory assembly areas. But the inside pages are full color. Here's the September page for A2 checkering. I think I like the pictures of the catalog artwork more than I like the pictures of the rifles.. Sorry for any confusion. ![[Linked Image from savagefest.net]](https://www.savagefest.net/99s/2021Sep_small.jpg)

My copy of The Savage 99 Pocket Reference arrived about an hour ago and I have only scanned a few pages. I will give it more attention after I get the feedback off. Looks like a great book! Thank you for all your efforts and dedication to seeing it to fruition.

Rory,
The books are amazing! Forgive my ignorance, but I didn’t know they were going to include color pictures. Or so many pictures. Your efforts are apparent- I am beyond impressed.
Thank you for taking the initiative to make such a useful tool for all of us. You have my vote for MVP.

The pictures are the part that drove me crazy.. glad they came out good enough to be useful! If I ever finish the big book, it will have pictures of every style of every model. It will definitely be a bigger book.

Jake Rory, I was going to write a quick review and thank you, but the above post said it best. I just spent the last two hours saying “huh, I didn’t know that”...... good stuff 👍 BT53

Oh, Graham, they're using the direct route for your book. From there it only has to go through Cape Town, South Africa, and Melbourne via kangaroo. You're lucky. It could be going by way of Moscow, Kabul, and Beijing via camel.
