Ed Tinker's New Book: "Veteran Bringbacks"
 
Today I received a few advance copies of Ed's new book "Veteran Bringbacks". It looks very nice. It is a softcover, with 156 color pages. It shows many veteran bringbacks, and tells the stories behind them. The price is $24.95 It should be available on our web-site soon.

The customers I have shown it to in the shop today have been impressed. And they say it looks like a nice book for the price.

Congratulations Ed!

Two questions:

(1) 1st Q is general -- Where to order it?
(2) 2nd Q is for Ed -- Possible to sign?

Thanks!

Most surely want a copy. Ed can we get them direct from you.? Of course would want it signed.

Brad, Ed- I don't know who has control of promotion but while I was at the NRA Museum in Wash. DC I asked for a copy of Ed's Simson Luger book at their massive bookstore. The fellow behind the counter did not have one in stock and had never heard of it. They have every other gun book on the Planet there..they should carry yours!

I only have advance copies. The book will not be available for 4 to 6 weeks. We will start taking orders in the next couple of weeks.

S&H should be about $6.

As for the NRA Museum, I should try to get them to stock both of these books.

I just spoke to Ed. The advance copy I sent him just arrived. He seems very happy with the book.

He is in the middle of a move, so he may not be posting for a while.

I am in Kansas as I write this; but Brad sent me an advance copy to my house this morning before we left.

It turned out very nice, with color pictures throughout and many members and others (this was a 6, almost 7 year project).

Stories from Lyn, Glen, Tom, Peter, Carl, Ron Smith (nice pictures of his father in law) and many others.

Ed,

Congratulations on the new book. I know this has been a long and quite personal project for you. Hope it gets the attention it deserves!

Checking here everyday.... waiting for pre-ordering info.

The 1911A1 on the cover must be an interesting one. Why 1911A1? Was it a gun captured by German and then liberated by GI, or was it used to capture the Artillery above, or, .... too many possibilities. I will hold my curiosity and find the answer in the book :)

mauro 08-27-2008 03:04 PM

Congrat for the good effort...

I will take one when available.


Cheers,
mauro

:D Sorry, you can't 'read' into the cover ;) The cover is a compilation that Brad did for me from items at the shop, but most of the items on the cover are of types of guns and items in the book.
From memory; there are WW1 artillery stories, a WW2 artillery capture story, (3) Vietnam Vet 1911 (and or A1) stories; a G43 (is that the german semi auto?); an arisaka bring back, numerous lugers; to include a D-Day bring back that was owned by a friend, then mine, then Lyn's ;) and even some odd ones :)

Overall, as Vlim said, a book I found personally fun to put together and as some comedian once said, stories short enough for a "break" :D
