have the paperback version, got it @ Barnes v& Noble.
I am a bit of a Greener fan , & thinks it's a bloody good read...it'll take a while though,,,small print & close to 3" thick!
loads of drawings of Shot patterns, Gun schematics,bullets etc
Full of great & fascinating stuff, from the un modest Treble Wedge fast Dude himself, great book
