Bill,
I shipped dozens of books today before UPS picked up. I think your book will ship tomorrow? I only had a couple of hours from the time they arrived until UPS picked up. All pre-orders should go out this week. Thanks again. Brad PS: Its a fantastic book. I'm anxious to hear what you think. |

Policeluger,
Glad you got your book. It was shipped the first day, but you are further from many of the people who got it sooner. Thank you all for the kind words. Don did a fantastic job. |

Writ in Steel
Received my copy while on vacation, waiting here for me when I got back.....I have a lot of reading to do on Lugers, and this book will be of great assistance. I'm also biased to the book...it has one of my own Lugers included in it. First weapon, or anything for that matter, that I've had published in a book. Thanks Don for a great reference that will be invaluable to all who collect. Chris....
