    Webley Air Pistols by Gordon Bruce

    Just a heads up to say a copy of this out of print excellent book is currently for sale on an auction web site. No personal vested interest as I have bought a copy but it took me ages to find and a King's ransom to buy!

    Sold out again, though when I contacted the publisher a while back they said they were considering a second reprint.

    That's approximately 1300 copies of Gordon Bruce's book have now been sold, some for a lot more than the advertised selling price.
    I haven't yet seen any copies of John Griffith's Encyclopedia of Spring Air Pistols offered for sale, and there were only 300 copies printed, with no immediate prospect of a reprint.

    300? That's crazy. Anyone remotely interested in air pistols needs one.

    Well mine won't be up for sale in the forseeable future. Best airgun book ever written, by a country mile IMO.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
