This is most certainly a MUST HAVE for ANYBODY with ANY interest in the beginnings of the 357 Magnum----and the people involved. It's a step back into that history available nowhere else---an exclusive.

Every scrapbook order that has been placed has been shipped as of yesterday afternoon. You should have received a tracking number in the mail from stamps.com ... if you didn't, please email me at [email protected] and I'll check into it.
There's still a few copies left, so it's not too late to get one.

This is really awesome, while reading the intro by Mr jink’s I realized Doug Wesson wrote 2 books, Burning Powder which I have , just ordered a copy of Bullet Holes. Have gone through the book quickly stopping a reading tidbits , like LA police Chief shooting fingers of one his officers, I will now start a full review. Congratulations to the folks that made this happen.

Sales over the past week and a half have been steady, and the stock of remaining books is getting down to the low double digits.
I'll leave the order form up until we're down to about five. I'd like to keep a few copies on hand in case any get mangled by the postal system and I need to send a replacement. Eventually those will get sold too, but I'll throttle that carefully to make sure everyone is happy.
Translation: order now while you can!
