    I'm too late so no idea even what it was but I had my hopes:

    After all this year:

    we've got a new Adele album (apparently this is important - saw it in yesterday's paper)

    The much awaited James Bond film is now on release.

    There is rumour of a new John Milewski book hitting the bookshelves. I bet its been delayed to try and hit the coveted no.1 spot Xmas week!

    Does anyone know? WalnutfarmMarg has been saving hard for months now.

    Only teasing John, but only just.

    Hi Mick,

    It was a proof copy of my book.


    .....Only joking. The item was a BSA spanner with probe.

    As to the book, I'm hoping it will be ready for the December 12th Kempton Park arms fair. I'm currently awaiting the second proof copy, which hopefully will have all the typographical mistakes I found in the first proof rectified. Then it will be down to the printers but at least they are based in the U.K.

    John M
    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.

    I know Binners would be dead chuffed if the book was launched at Kempton but wouldn't that leave delivery time a bit tight for Xmas. A rush of orders on first release is to be expected? The sooner the better John, as far as many customers will be concerned

    Kind regards,
