Baldrick Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Did any readers of Sporting Shooter buy a copy of the magazine's book 'Sporting Rifle Shooter', as advertised in the Dec 07 - Feb 08 editions? Did you get the same letter from Archant Publishing apologising for publication delays, saying that the book would be ready in 'the New Year'. It's now March, and I've yet to receive my copy. It was less than £10 and almost certainly just a compilation of mediocre articles, so I will probably cope if I never receive the book. I'm just curious though. Any info appreciated.

Pipmoff Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I had the same letter and also have not received my copy of the book, which was supposed to be coming in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm glad it's not just me then, Pip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipmoff Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Just to update I recieved my copy of the book on saturday not had a good look through it yet but it does seem to be a bit of a rehash of the magazine, plenty of adverts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I got my copy on Saturday too, Pip. I was surprised at the book - it was better than I had anticipated. Yes, there was a lot of evident re-hashing and some distinctly dodgy opinions/logic/definitions scattered throughout the text, but it's worth the tenner I paid.

beatingisbest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 it's worth the tenner I paid. There you go Landy, baldricks answered your question before you asked it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Got mine Saturday too. I was a bit disappointed with it owing to the adverts and articles already been read from their monthly magazines. Some good stuff in there as well, so all in all, it's okay.

Landy Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Not the cost but the read. Thinking of getting it :blink: or :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
