To me, it was a lot like holding my first child! Today I actually held the very first copy of my book, "101 Classic Firearms." My understanding is that Dillon should receive the first shipments within a week or so, so that should be in plenty of time for Christmas. The October issue of The Blue Press should list the book and the stock numbers for ordering either just the book or an autographed copy. I am sorry to report that specifically worded autographed copies will not be available through Dillon, due to the more complicated logistics that would entail. The autograph will be generic, but I'd be happy to do a specifically worded autograph at book signings - I'll try to give you advance notice on that.

Before the book is listed in The Blue Press, I'll give you advance notice on the stock numbers so they can be ordered by phone or on the internet. That way you can get a copy or copies before the general public is aware of the book's availability. I think you'll be pleased with it - we've really worked hard on it. As Smith & Wesson fans, you should know that 14 S&Ws are included.

Here are some photos I took of that first book today - I'm a proud papa!
