WHAT book? Do you have a 'King's patent' folding (one piece of leather) experimental box from the .50-70 period?

Yes good joke
I can read a book but probably couldn't write one?

I think posting items on this and other forums for people to get involved and post some of their stuff and thoughts would further the knowledge better than me writing a book that doesn't have a history or literary background or some college "degree" would not be as good.

So I will stick to posting here and a few other sites and absorb knowledge from others who know more than I, and possible impart a little knowledge myself.
Thank You

Hey, you never know what you can do if you set your mind to it!

I am a few credits short of an AA, and was NOT an English major, yet "More .45-70s" has received favorable reviews from at least one Phd.

Now that everything is digital, you can put out a book with absolutely ZERO up-front cost. Don't sell yourself short...
