Default Great Winchester book

Even though this is a S&W board, I know there are a lot of Winchester guys here. A couple of weeks ago I ran across a book I'd never heard of, Winchester, The Way It Really Was, which is primarily a collection of stories from former Winchester employees. The author was an engraver at Winchester and her father was also a long time employee. It's a really neat read and an insight into Winchester I don't know where you could get any place else, my only problem with the book is that it wasn't longer. It can be ordered here, Untitled Document

I have no affiliation with the book of the author, just a satisfied customer. I didn't know this book existed until I read about it on another forum, so I thought I'd post there here, one of y'all might appreciate it.

Thanks Steave, that's something I'd be interested in and have never heard of.
