    Is that a Chinese rip-off of the Gordon Bruce book?

    I think it might be a new Webley book by Flash's brother.

    No offence meant (and I'm sure Cornelius, J. meant none either).

    Looks like I need to keep the few brand new copies I have for a while longer then, along with the Chris Thrale Webley Rifle books.

    Ease up matey
    Only a bit of fun. The book is by Gordon Bruce and just my take, but it is worth every penny of £35
    Good luck with the sale.

    Hey, lighten up, nikonf.
    Think Jerry's - & others' comments - were because of the transposition of the authors name...

    On the subject of the books value - seems it is no longer available new, so it may be worth be worth putting it on a well known auction site.
    I was amazed at the price that a Laverda reprinted manual - which cost me about £20 - realised after the print run ended - wish I'd bought a couple of copies.

    £35 to include postage. I already have one so no axe to grind.
