I need to find somewhere in the U.S. where I can order a copy of "Shooting the British Double Rifle" by Graeme Wright. I work in Saudi Arabia but will be going home to Texas for my annual repatriation leave in December. I'd like to order this book so it will be waiting on me when I get there.

If you know where this book is available today, please tell me who I can order it from. If you post a URL I may or may not be able to access it as the Saudi's try to block all gun related sites form all servers in the Kingdom. SO it you give a URL, please also give the business' phone number in case the URL is blocked and I have to order by phone.

It might pay to wait as it's being updated ... can't remember if due date is late 2008, or early 2009.

I'll sell you mine for what I paid for it from an AR member here, $150. It's the second edition, where Wright does a flip-flop on crimping.

I would rather get the new edition, but my repatriation leave to the U.S. will end about newyear and I'll be back in Saudi for many months.

So if I could find a current 2nd edition for original new price or not much more (I think new price was about $40 USD) I would go ahead and buy it and have it shipped to my Texas address.

Then if the new edition is available in December, I would get that also and leave the 2nd edition in storage in Texas. But if the new edition is delayed, as is usually the case, I still have the 2nd edition to read until my 2009 repat leave (probably in July).

You would be very lucky to find this book close to it's original price of $40. They come up for sale few and far bewtween and when they do I have seen them go for $125-$150+. Like others have said the 3rd eddition is coming out later this year. Good luck in your search.

Gentlemens:

I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Wright a couple weeks ago. He said the new edition is at the publisher's and is expected to be available in November.

O.K., I guess I’ll wait on the new edition. Even if it’s not available in time for this repat.

So I need a back up substitute to order and read in case it’s late.

I just read Terry Weiland’s “Dangerous Game Rifles†and years ago read Taylor’s “African Rifles and Cartridgesâ€.

If I can only make room for one right now, which should it be? Boddington’s “Safari Rifles� Woods’ “Rifles for Africa� Other suggestions?
