Well, I actually got a copy in my hands - send ahead from the printer before they ship the bulk of them over. Actually, I have two - one with Merlin Unwin as the publisher (sold in UK) and one with Safari Press (sold in USA).

I found two mistakes!

Still, for a 225 page book with an average of three photos per page, two mistakes I can live with, I guess.

OK, so here is the challenge, The first person to e-mail me with the two mistakes I found today will win a lovely, top quality, all leather, hand made in England, Hoxleigh gun slip or cartridge bag (you choose).

The book is out on September 30th, I'll be at the US launch party in Richmond, Nr Houston, to which you are all invited on October 20th and I'll have copies.

Actually, I'm really pleased with the way it came out. Nice quality paper, good format, same size as the previous effort and a nice companion volume to it.

It is called 'The British Boxlock Gun & Rifle'.

Congratulations!
Will there be an E-book version?

Really looking forward to it. Good to see the boxlock get the respect it deserves. I have it on Amazon pre-order.

- I already found the two mistakes. You spelled "colour" and "calibre" incorrectly :-).

+1 to what Ken said, I have mine on pre-order also.

Just want to wish you the best of luck Dig and hope you sell a ton of them.

BTW, thanks for your help with the hammergun questions. I really appreciate your insight and your advise. Thanks!

Best of luck to you!

I'm signed up w/Amazon to be notified when your book will be available- so far have not received their e-mail notice. Could you punch them up about getting it available as soon as possible? I'm looking forward to reading it, and hope it is as good as your first.

There won't be an E-book as far as I am aware - the only seller in the US will be Safari Press, so check out their website if you are Stateside.

Dig,

Safari Press claims on their website that the book is in stock. I ordered so we'll see in a couple of days. I look forward to it!

Dig,

Congratulations on the new book. If there are only two mistakes (hopefully inconsequential) in a 225 page book you are doing very well indeed!

Cheers,
Roger
