I bought mine from here:
http://www.halebooks.com/index.asp?TAG=&CID=
It arrived in 5 days (including the weekend) and I've just finished it.
It seems that I paid more than others but the service was excellent. The courier sent an email saying when I could expect to get it (to within an hour) and they were spot on!

Oh yes they haveMy 2 have not
I can honestly say 'I have never read a whole book in my life', but from what I have seen in the first few pages, this will be the first and not just because some of my rifles get a mention.
Very well done Mr Thrale and thank you.

Let's hope Chris's book makes you a convert - I locked myself away and read it straight through. I am now reading a chapter a night after the initial indulgence.
What it has convinced me of is that I want an Eclipse and a Patriot.

Congrats to Chris for a magnificent work[of art] and to see a gun mentioned by serial number, which has passed through my hands, makes it even better.Now back to the reading.

The signed copy from Protek Supplies arrived today; 10/10 to Phil for keeping to the price agreed way back, 10/10 to Chris Thrale for authorship, and 10/10 to Robert Hale and team for excellent production. Sincere thanks to all for a superb book.

You cynic, Chris.It didn't take long for one to get on the bay of evil.......someones out to make a killing....It's an unwanted gift. Says so in the description so it must be true.

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

It can only be one thing, and I'm itching to get my hands on it. Parcel office opens at 07:30, so that'll be just in time for me to pick up on my way home from work.

Well, I've now had a chance to peruse the book and I have mixed feelings about it. Certainly can't fault the quality of it, but for the price they're asking, for me at least, the mistakes and ommissions do let the book down.
