    Webley Book

    Any further news yet on the arrival of the Webley Air Rifles book? Last I heard was projected to be end of September. Here we are, middle of October and it's still not out. Has it not been released, or could my order have been forgotten?
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    The publisher is saying 30th October.

    AFAIK the book covers Webley air rifles, not pistols. There is a book by Gordon Bruce on Webley air pistols.

    Anyone who knows the author is very confident the book will be a 'must have' for anyone interested in Webley air rifles.

    WH Smith are offering it at £43.40 and the publisher, Robert Hale books, at £49.

    For those who can't be bothered to 'Google' it, here's a link to the publishers web site telling you the estimated publishing date, their current price and a synopsis of the contents:

    Well - I can dream.
