is there anywhere i can get hold of "shooting on a small income" by C.E.Walker?
(it's a quite old book, any clues will be appreciated)

wow...how did you find it.
i made a search on google before i made the post, but didn't find anything useful.

i have wanted it since the very first time i heard of it(mentioned in "heyday of the shotgun") although "small income" is a relative term.
the author suggests you should employ a gamekeeper for 16 shillings a week(0.80£)

anyway, thank you very much.
i thought it would be more troublesome to get a 108 year old book.
i have placed my order for it

A hard copy is always nice, as long as you are aware you can download the PDF too.

Here is a funny story-

I read bedtime stories to my children, and I remembered a few stories that I had read and enjoyed as a child myself, by the author Edgar Rice Burroughs. (he wrote the Tarzan books, and about 60 other adventure stories). Anyway, out local library had one of the books of his I was looking to read, it turned out to be a bound series of 3 of the books.

Well all was well, the kids enjoyed all 3 books but then the last book was not the last book of the series, and it ends in a cliffhanger with the original hero locked in a deep dark dungeon!

Well crap, what to do now!?!?

To make a long story short, I discovered the Gutenberg Australia website has ALL of his books available online so we not only finished that series but a few others too. Not as fun as holding a book but sitting in a chair with a laptop isn't too bad.

Anyway, I mention this as there are quite a few old books on that site, including another book by this author on raising fish:
