Loaded with interesting articles, but how I wish they would use darker ink, not only in text, but especially on the picture captions. Have a bit of glaucoma so I can barely read them.

Too many publications are like that. Wish they would spend a few more pennies on black ink. And they think its so cute to print pastel letters on white or pale backgrounds.

I too find reading some of the print very tedious in my old age, but about all I do these days is look at the pix anyway; so no big deal.

The "Vintage Doubles" ad is the worst for readability. The white on black in miniature type is impossible to decipher. I gave up trying, even though something may appear some day that would interest me.

Had the same trouble 8-bore. Dug out the magnifying glass. Hope the publisher reads this thread.

I don't try to read the Vintage Doubles ad anymore for the reasons given above. Kirby is a good guy to deal with though. I have a Greener I bought from him

My compliments also for lots of neat articles; esp. Bro. Tom's "Lost Then Found" on p. 39. For the 1 or 2 interested and with the near vision to tell the difference  the barrels on John Campbell's Phantom on p. 51 are Laminated Steel, not Damascus; and likely are "Best English 3 Iron Laminated Steel" which was indeed the winner of the 1st phase of the Birmingham Proof House trial https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cvqRzkg0wEjhAAcFWr8gFi7aPFRsSIJ_hahfDxmrNAU/editThe barrels on Terry Deem's Remington Model of 1873 on p. 124 are Bernard I, not Laminated Steel. Similar barrels on a 1875  I've sent messages to John on the PGCA site and Terry through DGJ.
