Book On gunsmiths in the state of Ky.
« on: July 13, 2011, 02:52:04 AM »
Sometime ago someone posted about a book devoted to gunsmiths in the state of Ky.  Does anyone know if this book is now available, if so,
where could it be purchased?

Thanks,
Keller

The book is "almost" done. It is a two volume set, the first is basically done with over 400 pictures, and the second volume is being wrapped up currently, which means placing the pictures and captions and doing any needed adjustments to them, then adding the table of contents and appendix once page numbers are set. It's been a slower than anticipated process, but will be out before the end of this year.

Fortunately, the numerous delays have allowed several additional significant KY-made guns to be located and inserted into the set...and also allowed several errors to be caught and corrected as new data has become available. When the book is sent to print (hopefully in about 4-6 weeks), we will know for sure when it will be available and the final price, and will begin to advertise accordingly. Shelby Gallien
