Where's my thickest, blackest crayon?'
I'm sure it'll become the standard reference work of the genre, a latterday Gas, Air and Spring Guns with the term ' Ah! But according to Milewski. ' passing into everyday usage even beyond the bounds of Kempton Park.
John needs neither of us springing to his defence. He's already on the road to fame and fortune, so let us just wish him well, enjoy the book and keep scanning the Sunday Times Best Sellers list.

Hi Mick,
Your comments brought a smile to my face!
Not sure about the fame and fortune bit - I just hope I have identified all the spelling mistakes and there are no factual errors!
Thanks all for your comments - the title and cover are not set in stone just yet.
Kind regards,
John
Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
