Reading a thread from last year, it appears that a book was written by Roger Lake and David Baker about the Paradox and other guns of this ilk. I tried the webiste Roger gave, but it no longer exists, apparently. The book WAS published, as mentioned by Roger. I've searched tghe stupid net and got all thesed very wrong books, each one infuriating me more than the last.
Does anyone know the score on this book, whether or not it was perhaps printed in a limited amount and out of print; if not, how/where can one purchase it.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Many Thanks - Marc

Many Thanks, guys. He had given another e-mail address in one of the posts and that was the one I tried and came up empty.

I received my copy today. My, what an interesting book, it's worth every single cent and some more.
One of the Authors has actually worked for Holland and Holland for many years, so he does know precisely what he is writing about.

Just received my copy form Roger Lake. Excellent book! I would recommend it highly.
I can't wait for the next edition which is planned on other maker "Ball & Shot" guns!

It IS a wonderful book. A great read as well as plenty of nice photos. I got mine froom Roger as a Christmas present to myself last year. Trouble is, I have this affliction the doctors can't cure; I read about old, beautiful interesting guns and I want one!
