As a long-time collector, I've amassed a lot of relevant reading material - it's important to me in my alter ego as a gun writer to have my facts straight and do my homework.
But as I've admitted before on this forum, I lacked a couple of books that I've always wanted to read just for the joy of it.
For many years, I was an avid reader of articles by Skeeter Skelton in Shooting Times magazine, where he was the Handgun Editor until his untimely death in 1988 in El Paso, where my wife and I happened to be living at the time. So recently, I reached deep in my pockets to acquire his two main books.
In one of them was an additional treasure - one of Skeeter's business cards!
Time to put my feet up, put on my reading glasses, have a nice glass of Rebel Yell Bourbon and water on the rocks at my side, and enjoy riding with Skeeter once again...
