Looks like an ad for both books.

This will insure success on my 2011 jumbo hunt, right?

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

YYYeeeesssss!!!!

I will finally learn the secrets of hunting elephants properly and no longer be castigated and ridiculed by my peers!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Will,

Can you do us a favor and post an extract from your book for us to read? It may sway me to part with some of my wife's hard earned cash.

An ALMOST word-for-word extract of the chapter on doubles versus bolt actions is in the new issue of the Dangerous Game Hunting magazine. But I'll throw out a tidbit later today.

Hey, don't be blaming anything on my grand kids.

I thought the cover turned out pretty cute. It is the outline of a big 75 pounder I took a picture of once in Mana. But opinions may vary.

Who said I was blaming anyone, I just wanted credit to be given where credit was due. Where is my book by the way? I thought you hand delivered these?

Seconded... A short blurb about each book would be informative.

Bill,

Let me know when you ship mine. This time of year I want to be on the lookout for it and make sure it doesn't fall off the USPS dogsled.

The longer you have to wait, the more you'll think it's okay when you get it!!!!!!

If the first chapters are as good as the last two you won't be disappointed.

I am reading mine slowly, about ten pages a day. I think the operative phrase here would be "Savoring every line..."

Will,

How much for a signed copy of your first book when I buy both? Checkbook is in front of me and will be in the mail today (even though it is Sunday).

I just had some bookshelves put up in the office. No medical books there - only Safari books on one, American muscle cars on the other. Your books will be great there after a good, slow read.

Might put the impala mount on the wall - no room for the Cape buffalo or kudu. Very popular subject matter here in New Jersey.

Will - let me know the cost of the ink ...

Thanks,
Paul
