Thanks Steve!
You can call it anything you want but your book self-identifies as “604”/six-zero-four

Jeff,
I just placed my order for the Model 75 book, hopefully you can match the number to my Model 69 book #168.
Thanks,

There’s a special going for “buy one book, get a free model 75”, right?

Jeff, I’ve just put in my order. Looking forward to a slow read with a cold brew in hand. Here’s to you, my friend!

If y’all thought Jeff’s Model 69 book would be a tough act to follow, you’re right. Turns out we had nothing to worry about, JWA pulled it off in a big way! A thorough introduction, incredibly detailed descriptions, hundreds of images from ads and Winchester records along with some pretty awesome full color photographs. I think Zeb will enjoy the account of the Lyman suit. Amazing when common sense prevails! The story of the Model 75 needed to be told and Jeff did an awesome job of telling it. I’ve decided the phrase “poor man’s 52” does not truly describe the Model 75. After reading Jeff’s latest book I think you’ll agree. Enjoy!

Oops, it was Lyman that filed the patent infringement suit. Fixed it!

Jeff-
Thanks for the countless hours of research and putting this latest book together. It’s my pleasure to shamelessly promote it to folks who I know will enjoy it as much as I am.

Thank you Jeff.

Oh, I’m not sure what the pages are made out of but when I got up to go to the latrine, my Doberman ate my book. I’m still in shock. She’s never done anything like that before. I’m speechless.

Whaaaat? I have never heard of that!
The paper is the same U.S. sourced paper as the Model 69 book. The only difference between the 2 books is I had to source a different manufacturer for the leather cover as the original manufacturer discontinued the first style. Maybe the new leather was the target?
Were you eating ribs while turning the pages?
How bad is it?
So sorry,
Jeff

Dobies can be a bit jealous. Have you neglected it since Jeff’s book arrived?

Heads up to all who have, or will obtain Jeff’s excellent volume on the Model 75…….
Please take time to read the Preface. I know that we all like to get right to the “meat and potatoes” with this type of read, but the Preface is more than worth the short time required to read it.

I was being facetious about the paper. LOL. I was able to piece together what she did. However, I am missing the bottom text from page 205 and 207. Would you allow a scanned copy of those two pages for me, then I could paste them in?

Hi Steve,

Let me know if you need anything else.
