Sorry for the rant, I wasn't looking for sympathy, it's just when I hear about how easy it is to do a book, I immediately recoil.
And Mike, I hope you don't take my critique of your book the wrong way. My copy is in the only bookshelf I have with sliding glass doors along with my cherished author (friend) signed first editions. I consider Custom Gunmakers to be one of the most enjoyable gun books published in my lifetime and should set the standard for great research. But I also know how very much better the "Big Book" will be because of your experience.
Froggie, how would a fellow ever know your byline?
