Johnson book

[Bruce Canfield 0]

I just heard from Mowbray Publishing that the Johnson Rifles & Machine Guns book is almost sold out and they will not be doing a reprint. If anyone is interested in a copy, this would be the time to pick it up. Once it's out of print, I suspect the prices will be ridiculously high on the secondary market.

For one, I am sorry to hear that. While I know publishers look for popular books that will turn a profit, there are others that are not exactly profit centers, but are instructional or informational that people will buy. "The Book" is one of those. Two editions 'have sold out'. I wish that I had some 'spare cash' and I would order 1000 copies and put in an 'online shop' for future purchasers.

I just finished ordering my copy. Now to get it autographed by one of the most knowledgable firearms authors and researchers on the planet.

 "I wish that I had some 'spare cash' and I would order 1000 copies and put in an 'online shop' for future purchasers."

50 grand is some serious "spare cash."

Yup! But, if as Bruce says, "Once it's out of print, I suspect the prices will be ridiculously high on the secondary market. "

I bet some on this site would like to have a source for 'a reasonable copy'!
