    Sign me up for a couple books and the video series. Larry has always been there to help me with answers to my problems or just thoughts. We need to have his work put down on paper an video, not just for us but for the future boolit musketeers that will come later.

    Thanks Larry for all the Help !

    I've often though it'd be nice to have some "paper" copies of some of the threads and stickies ...Heck, many of us are one 'glitch' away from not being able to access castboolits, or at least I am.

    It's all here, easy to make a 'booklet", just a little searching and then cut and paste and save ...sort it out, make a index, print it off and have it bound at the print shop with their cookbook binder tool (actually I have one of those) ALL for personal use only, Of course.

    No need for waiting for a member to do all that work for you, RIGHT ?

    I know I for one have gleaned a good deal of written knowledge from the "special ones" on this site and have built up my Cast Boolit e-Library on my computer (& it's back ups!)

    One real problem is: if Larry is busy writing a book...... we may loose out in his knowledgable responses in our day to day threads! Now we wouldn't want that would we ?

    P.S. Seems like many of our "knowledgeable ones are growing quiet recently

    I'd be interested in a book by Larry Gibson. Perhaps he could put together something in the format of "From Ingot to Target." I would volunteer to help with the document design and layout whether for print or electronic distribution.

    When Larry posts, I pay attention. Even if his book was only two or three hundred pages, i'd buy two.

    Before you criticize another man, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you'll be a mile away from him, . . . and you'll have his shoes.

    For those looking for Larrys article on the 45/70 type My Trapdoor Loads, Techniques and Equipment into the search function. Not only is it a goldmine for trapdoors it's an excellent article for anyone loading 45/70. I'd love to see this a sticky. Perhaps with a bit of help...eh? And this is only the tip of the iceberg on Larrys writing. Audie....the Oldfart..

    The man is definitly a walking, talking, breathing encyclopedia on the subject of cast boolits. He could easily write a book worthy of anyone's library. Were fortunate to have folks such as him here!

    Hmm. I take note that the object of all the discussion is conspicuously absent
    from posting on the subject of writing a book.

    Methinks he is speaking loudly by not speaking at all.

    I would buy a book that he put out, but he may have other things in mind.

    I'll act as his agent and editor, if he writes it and if he asks me that is if he even likes me or the idea of becoming an author. Either way I'd buy one.
