HL "Electronic" Luger Books
 

I've been on the forum a couple of months and have yet to see any mention of HL's so called e-books. Maybe the subject was dead and buried before I came along. For those who haven't encounter them, they are a series of downloadable "computer books" dealing with individual pistols that are put out by a Belgium publisher. Currently there are two books out on Lugers. The first deals with the mechanics of the Luger and there is now a second on the history of the DMW Luger. ( I would wager there 'll be a third on the Nazi era.) I downloaded the first one and found it very useful as a new Luger owner - especially the illustrations. You pay $6 for a password to open the the book. However, since you can't print out a copy, I was forced to field strip my Luger in front of the computer a couple of times. Has anyone downloaded the DMW book? If so, what is your opinion.


For those who would like to visit the site. Go to www.user.skynet.be/HL-editions/ebooks There is one free book you can download to test out the concept. But as you might figure, its not on Lugers.

From time to time someone does mention these fine publications, but I must admit it's been a while now. They are however, listed in our Links & Resources. I have looked at the write-up on the new book, and was very interested to note that in the table of contents, I see a chapter on Hugo Borchardt. Of course the burning question in my mind is... Is there a photograph of dear old Hugo? I would love to have a photo for our Hugo Borchardt page. If you ultimately wind up purchasing the second book, and you find there is a photo in there of Hugo, would you please let me know?


Thanks

I haven't read all of it, but so far it is quite interesting and worth the money. Sorry, DOK, a pic of GEORG but none of B.

BUMMER... (thanks) (EOM)

I downloaded the DWM book and have been able to print it OK except every once in a while the last page of a chapter will be messed up; don't know if that is on purpose or not.

Some nice illustrations; not sure if it has the definitive word or not; but for $6 it is pretty neat.

You're doing Better than me
 

Dave, if you 're getting it to print, you doing a lot better than me. I can't get anything to print out of Luger book #1. I assumed there was some sort of copyright protection to prevent printing and hard copy distribution.
