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

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

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

    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.

    To be serious then, the book is getting harder to find and so the price is likely to increase, but it hasn't gone up by much yet. The last two copies that sold on Fleabay (brand new in each case) went for £42 (Jan 4) and £46 (Nov 1), and these prices included postage.

    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.
