Ed, I will try and order one of the trade edition here in England.
Thanks for your interest. And you will enjoy my chapter entitled "Apple Pie Versus Spotted Dick," which shows how the American experience with shooting flying was nurtured but often disparaged by your lords-of-the-manors' younger sons and remittance men who crossed the big pond to sport with their newly invented precussion scatterguns starting in the 1830s. We went our seperate ways after the Civil War as American makers got with the breechloader program in the late 1860s, Parker Brothers being first and foremost. Shooting flying in the UK came to be synonymous with driven birds, and Spotted Dick your iconic dessert; meanwhile, rough shooting continues to be as American as Apple Pie.
As to buying the Trade Edition my new book overseas, if you Google "Parker Guns: Shooting Flying and the American Experience Muderlak" you will find Internet dealers in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Canada, and GB already taking orders for delivery soon:

The $99.95USD Special Signed Limited Edition costs $9.80 to ship Priority Mail in the USA (I charge $7.50), and if after checking the Internet site you decide to order the
faux Leather autographed Ltd. Ed., I think International Priority would be about $25USD. Given the value of the USD against the pound, both the $49.95 Trade Edition and $99.95 Limited Edition ought to be bargain basement prices compared with similiar gun books. I only sell the Special Signed Ltd Ed. and take PayPal at my e-mail address:
