Gibson's Notebook

[1Shirt]

There will never be to much written about guns, ammo, reloading etc. Each author, in all probability repeats a fair amount of what previous authors have written, but often in a different style. So much the better in my opinion, as some authors are easier to read than others. Personal accounts by various authors are gold to me, and more than likely to many others as well. The writings of some authors speak differently to different backgrounded readers. Go to it Larry, and good luck!

Put me down for one.

Sorry guys but I've been out of the net with family for this past week and will be through Saturday. Just been able to barely take a peek at the forum on the smart phone when the Boss isn't looking.......I really appreciate the support here in this thread and all the kind comments here and in other threads regarding me writing a book. I have been considering doing that but having never written a book or had any experience with that it seems like a daunting project. However, with the help here I will begin the project. I will also write/rewrite some posts/articles for posting here in CASTPICs. Again, thanks for all the comment, support and suggestions.

Larry Gibson

Glad to hear it! Looking forward to more on this project.

I too prefer to read technical information from an actual printed book, but I would be quite happy with Larry's book on an "e-book" type format, or even in PDF format like Glenn's book on the LASC site. If someone wants to start a fund to help cover the costs of publishing, I would contribute money to help get it started.

WARNING for those that want to trick or twist Larrys arm, I have heard he has a gun and might even know how to use it. I would however gladly pay for one if it were to become reality. I probably seek out his post more than any others.

[Patricklaw]

Ditto. Count me in.

[shredder]

Well, we all know what we want!!! I would love to be able to compile all the knowledge here on this site into an encyclopedia of cast boolit info. Oh wait, it's all here! Search....

I would buy Larry's book too if it ever happens.

[Cowboy_Dan]

I am/was a certified writing consultant. If Larry wants it, I can offer my help. All I ask in return is a discounted copy.

[MTtimberline]

Bringing this one back from the dead as I am still waiting on the finished product.

[Bloodman14]

ABSOLUTELY!! DAMNED STRAIGHT!! And all other invectives I can think of! Mr. Gibson, Ben, Hickory, and a whole bunch of others; put a book together and put me on the list of guaranteed buyers!!

[toallmy]

Thanks to Cast Boollits and it's wonderful members , I think the book has already been written .

[square butte]

A Gibson's Notes for sure - Outpost75 is also on my list for a book of compiled works

[brass410]

I'm in for one ! Gitter done. If the knowledge goes to the grave nobody can access it (like a library burning down)

Curious, is there is a way to just sort and print one person's posts?

Nice if it could be sorted by thread, print all posts from one person on a single thread, move on to the next and repeat. Instant chapters.


Relational database, I would think it's possible. Having the privledges granted to us peons is probably not the best idea.

Back 30 years ago when I dabbled (slightly) with SPC databases, too much ability to slice and dice usually resulted in a blown up database.

Maybe a mod could do it and create a separate thread--"Collected writings of xxxxxx".

Sounds like a potential award winning sticky.



Just random mutterings of an old guy.

The man from Havasu is the star of the show around here. I can't wait to see his comments on threads.

[slim1836]

Agree with all the above, Git-R-Done.

Still think this is a good idea if it is indeed possible.

LG isn't going to even think about publishing anything until he gets "500 pre-orders" lol. I know that's how I'd do it. So, here's my "pre-order"!

[GLynn41]

I go with this. I try to always read his posts

[Bazoo]

I too will purchase one. And that’s saying something cause I’m mighty stingy.
