When the book came out, I emailed the Amazon link to my wife and told her it would be a dandy birthday present. She says I'm hard to shop for, so she really appreciates hints like this. Well, today is my birthday and what did I get but a copy of BIG BORE REVOLVERS. Whoo Hoo! Set down to flip through it and decided to read the acknowledgements, since I know many of the people who contributed. Lo and behold, there was my name in black and white, then I found one of my photographs of a Linebaugh custom on a full page spread. Wow! I had totally forgotten I had given anything to Whit for the book. What a wonderful birthday surprise! Can't wait to read it cover to cover, Whit! I like that it is full color. You done us all proud! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Mine arrived a few weeks ago and helped me through a challenging time in the Children's Hospital.
Well done! It's an informative and enjoyable book.
I wish that the same quality of printing had been afforded to Mr. Taffin's excellent Book of the .44.

Got mine yesterday, looks fantastic! The pic of you and the 50 Alaskan "bite" really sent the message home about that particular boomer. Thanks so much for all the work!

Are you? ;D I have to say that I have worked hard my whole life and spent half a career in lousy places, under really lousy conditions, and this "project" was a daunting task to say the very least.......and I'm ready to do it again. ;D
