Yes, books will be available for purchase.

Regular edition @ $80.00 includes PA sales tax
Leather Bound edition @ $130.00 includes PA sales tax
 
This was a very limited printing and will not be reprinted; books have been selling very fast.

Great gift for Christmas!

AND PLEASE NOTE: 2 of the 12 rifles pictured in the book will be on display, along with the signed Andreas Albrecht gunlock.

Seeing the Albrecht gun and lock in person was so worth the trip.  As always chatting with Tim and Rich is also a pleasure.
