Blue book

[Jerry Cornelius]

I’ve just noticed a new edition of this has come out, and as mine was over a decade old a copy is winging its way to me courtesy of e b a y. But I couldn’t find any for sale in the uk and it’s coming from the states.

Have I missed something? It’s a bit of a funny book but it does have some use, and I was really surprised I couldn’t find one in the uk.

I was also interested in buying the 13th edition, however the £22 shipping made it uneconomical and it more than doubles if you get 2 copies so can’t even go halves on shipping with another buyer. I priced it up on the publishers website as I couldn’t find any decent deals on the bay or Amazon. Still waiting to see if any shops decide to start selling it over here.

I have all 12 editions, so could do with the 13th.

However, postage does seem uneconomical at present unless a shop imports a batch.

Well if someone imported a batch and sold them at Kempton I’m sure there would be a bit of money to be made hint hint

Maybe it’s the weight? Lol it’s up to a 1000 pages now! Very few of the pricing estimates have changed since my Eleventh edition. Also the vintage gun information is identical I believe, the additions are modern guns. I was hoping for expanded vintage research but I can’t find any? Sadly some of the major players in its publication have passed away. Still a book worth having.

With the massive page count, I wonder if it would be an idea to have two separate volumes; one for discontinued and collectable airguns and another for the modern ones?
