Have seen a thread about a book on the 44 Magnum written by Bill Cross and Roy Jinks.
I would like to have a copy. Exact title and where I might find one, please.

OP
Got the idea to email Dr. Cross. Have done that. Will let you know if he is able to help us find copies.
Seems like I heard it was a small printing and had sold out.

David, are you sure you're not thinking of:
...Ben
Vintage American Treasures Series: The Smith & Wesson Magnum Edition
It covers .44 Magnums as well as .357 Magnums......Ben
OP
Thanks Ben, that is the one. I found a used copy on ebay for $56.55. I had a coupon for $15. My coupon had expired so decided not to buy. They only had one. Early bird gets the worm. Sales tax added but free shipping, think less than $62.00 total.

I got mine a while back - it's fabulous. Lots of photos of guns with their original boxes, not just magnums either. Boxes, tools accessories. Worth whatever they are asking and even more.
I believe the OP is looking for this book by Cross and Jinks! This book was printed in limited numbers in 2019 and is not on the market today!
The Magnum Edition in section I highlights the Ray Cheely collection of .357 Magnums and other high condition/rare S&Ws that was photographed by Paul Goodwin in 2009. Ray had assembled one of the best, if not the best, collection of S&Ws. Section II is the book on the 44 Magnum that was offered in 2019 and 2020 and sold out very quickly.

Bill, will there ever be a new printing of the 2019 book?
I for one would really like to have one.

Just as well add me to the growing list. I would be happy to prepay if that would help offset the printing cost.
