Could this not be on Amazon? It would widen the market not just beyond those (me) who won’t get to Kempton, don’t do PayPal and find bank transfers a faff compared to clicking “buy now”. Including the international market.

I mean, I’ll buy a copy, somehow, but how many of our e.g. American collector friends are going to order one from Vic and Bob of Bognor Regis?

Hello Geezer
How far away are you from Barking??.

I can pick up a copy of John's book for you, if it's not to far out of my way.

I can't get to Kempton so am keeping watch on the Protek site for when I can order my 2 copies ... one for my daughter, one for me.
Hey ho, anticipation.
Cheers, Phil

Hi Phil,

Protek will offer the book two days after Kempton as long as enough copies have been printed. Apparently the cover requires some hand finishing, which is why I may only have a limited number available for Kempton. There should be at least a hundred available at KP and hopefully a lot more.

Kind regards,

John

That was a coffee on keyboard LOL moment for me and the missus when I told her, Dave. Thanks.

Brilliant.

Metaphorically, probably quite close.

Physically, on the other side of London. I can probably get to Bristol or Bath in less time than it would take to get to Barking.

Thanks anyway Les. Much appreciated. Unless you could do a small detour via Fulham on your way back from Kempton in Dec?

The last time I went through London,it took me 3 1/2 hours to get home due to a couple of traffic accident’s.
I normally go via the m25.
I avoid the big smoke if I can.
Sorry Geezer.

No problem at all. I know how you feel. London traffic is insane these days.

I don’t live too far from Fulham.
I’m sure I could drop a copy off if you want.

Give me a shout via PM.

Well we are so lucky to have three great books since the Dennis Hiller editions.
In no particular order

John Griffiths Encyclopedia Spring Air Pistols

Christopher Thrale's book of the Webley Air Rifle

John Milewski's The book of the BSA Air Rifle

In my opinion, I think these and Danny Garvin's online Vintage Airguns Gallery is as good as it gets.
