The Airgun from Trigger to Target

[Bandito]

A classic on airguns by G V and G M Cardew! I have a copy and just wondered about a copy to give as a Christmas gift. Looked at ABE Books and couldn't find one. Neither the first or second one was anywhere in their system. That is a lot of used book stores with nothing on a subject. There wasn't a reference to other books on airguns in their system. Are they that rare? No Encyclopedia of #Spring Air Pistols as well. A dearth of books on the subject! I will find a book on some history of warfare as a second choice.
Are there other airgun books to search for? Used or New? T I A. Be Well Brothers, 'dito.

It's worth noting that about 30% of the info is applicable to all airguns, but the real focus is on springers. I think I paid $60 for my copy around 2016(?).

Thanks for the information guys. But do I want to do business with bezos ? ¿ ? WELL NO! Be Well Brothers, dito.

 

[Bandito]

Just for the well of it I looked at amazon. The older book is $132.00. YUCK FOO BEZOS or I mean bezos. dito

@Bandito I had similar interest in airgun literature and the dearth thereof. There are a few titles listed here https://www.airgunnation.com/thread...g-literature-feel-free-to-contribute.1316942/

Thanks muchly E. I will dive headfirst into that rabbit hole. Bandito.

I looked to see if there was anything available in the UK, I could not believe the prices being asked. Made me wonder how much my hardback signed copy would be worth, though I am not going to sell it.

I ended up finding Ron's book on custom pistols only on amazon. I hope Ron actually got some monetary value from the amazon sales. Ron would have to convince me of that as I think bezos might be a crook. I suspect he hurt a lot of good people to get "there". But the Big Guy will decide that. Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

Let's ask him. @AirNGasman . Question for ya. What's the best way to purchase your literature where you get the most profit from the sale?

It's only available on Amazon; and from what I can tell, only found by searching the Books & Videos section for Awesome Air Pistols!

After I posted today my adult son came over carrying it as he came in the door. I guess everyone reading this knows to see it at amazon. Be Well, dito

That's what I did with Tom Gaylords R1 book, I bought it, I read it, then sold it within a couple of weeks. Paid like $150 years ago for it.

Is there a difference between the Trigger to Target and Trigger to Muzzle?

[Ballisticboy]

Trigger to muzzle is literally that, the book does not cover what happens after the pellet has left the barrel. The Trigger to target covers all the stuff in the trigger to muzzle, plus what happens afterwards.

 

[Bandito]

Trigger to Target is most thorough. And I didn't pay any $135.00 either. Maybe they didn't know what it is. Be Well. B.
