Author Topic: Got mine! Cdog911 "There are some ideas so absurd only an intellectual could believe them."--George Orwell. Member # 7 posted October 06, 2007 03:17 PM                       Just opened the box containing my copy of Gerry's new book. Pretty exciting, since they said they wouldn't be released for shipment until October 19. Guess I have some light reading to do this weekend. Question, is this all new material, or a rewrite of his past work? Anyone know for sure. Either way, it's good stuff. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

Member # 7 posted October 06, 2007 04:23 PM                       Trying not to dwell on the disaster o' the day. LOL Good thing I spent the day at a trapping rondy visiting with ol' friends rather than sitting in front of a TV watching my B/P climb. From the sounds of things, we just plain got beat! Having said that, they're still my team - good, bad, whatever. On an aside, my son's team is 5-0, and the varsity squad beat last year's league champs last night, 14-0. My mother-in-law thought the game was "boring". After all, it was just one long drawn out battle between the thirty yard lines until we finally scored with 4:56 left in the game by running an interception back for a TD, then pushing another TD in on the next O series. Yep, having two teams so evenly matched that neither can score on the other for most of a game sure is boring. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

I can't wait. Even if it mainly a rehash of the previous, it looks like it has a new cover and that's new to me! Leonard, Stanford!? Ouch!

Member # 7 posted October 07, 2007 07:46 AM                       Read some of it this morning. Very nicely laid out with top notch color pics. I don't have Gerry's previous works, so I can't speak to whether it is a remake or not. But, it does include new chapters by Higgins, Jay and Fred Cronk. I read each of those chapters this morning and offer to each new author my accolades for a job well done. I ordered mine directly from Krause after Paul recently announced in T&PC Extra that you could do so by calling them and getting free S/H. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

IP: Logged Beastmaster Knows what it's all about Member # 210 posted October 09, 2007 09:39 AM                    One hundred copies of the revised book showed here in Havasu Saturday. I will mail ordered copies today. I will bring copies for Gary and Leonard to the campout. Some of the material in the revised edition is about the same as appeared in the original book. All such has been updated. As noted above, new chapters by Jay, Rich, Fred and Major Boddicker appear. I have written six or eight new chapters. More than 200 color photos. More than 300 pages. As Rich observed, I will bring copies to the campout (if I can find it) for those who hanker to have an autographed copy.

I heard you have deluxe accomodations awaiting you, Mr Beastmaster. Paul has invited you to share his RV, shower, refrig, indoor plumbing, all the comforts. I'm envious. Good hunting.

I can relate. Everyone in camp will by Saturday nite. I received my copy of the book today. From the front cover to the back cover it's full of beautiful full color photos. They are worth far more than the price of the book. Congratulations, Gerry. Very well done.

You want me to pick one up at the campout for you?

Yes, if you could pick me up a copy and get a couple of photos of Gerry signing it, that would be great!!

Posts: 8232 | From: Under a wandering star | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged csmithers unknown comic posted November 05, 2007 01:57 PM              I finally purchased a copy of the new book. Wow! It is no rehash to be sure. I think that if any upstanding PETA member were to read this book today, they would be out hunting predators the next day, which would be tomorrow. Some say that the first one is always the best but not in this case. Poopsie! LOL! I haven't even skimmed it. I am reading from cover to cover just like the first one. Yes I can read! Doubters.......

We are so honored. And, it has quite a few new articles in it. Chapters by Higgins and Nistetter and Boddicker and Cronk, and an account of a hunt with Bill Rice and Michael McCasland at last years' Huntmasters campout. (maybe more) as Gerry might say?
