I am looking for the Winfer volume on Alexander Henry rifles. I think that is Volume 1. If anyone has a lead on a copy, I would welcome it. I would like the book to go along with the AH on the rack. It is either that or maybe the AH needs a new home.
I am very much enjoying this thread. Back in high school, one of my English teachers was Graham Burnside. He was an editor of Gun Report and wrote articles on cartridges and antique rifles. He encouraged the boys in class to write about their guns and always told us "every time you buy a gun, buy a book". I have done that and the gun books outnumber the guns in the safe.
While this thread has turned to novels, my favorite novelist is N.S. Norway. He wrote under the name Nevil Shute and hit the best-seller list many times between 1938 and his death in early 1960. NSN was an aeronautical engineer with a passion for details. Interested in early flying in the Arctic? Find a copy of "An Old Captivity". Interested in the D-Day preparations? Find the novel called "Requiem for a Wren" or "The Breaking Wave". "Most Secret" is a book about Royal Navy ops in Occupied France.
Good reading,
Richard
