I received my copy today, I had inside help so am not sure when you will get yours. But, it belongs in or on your home display or coffee table. Will take a while to read. Will take a couple of photos tomorrow to get your blood running. I mention it here because it will become the go to reference for a long spell. 300Bucks
 
Yep I see many folks posting that they have theirs already, One a few miles down the road from me. The waiting anticipation is killing me. I'll have to make due with your photos.

Still waiting on the copy my wife ordered for Xmas. Looking forward to it when ever it arrives.
 
All pending orders are packaged and ready to be mailed tomorrow. I got the rest of the books from the printer Tuesday. I hope everybody is pleased with the final result. It came out even better than I had anticipated it would look. Craig did a fantastic job on the pictures.
 
L Larry Oden , I’m going to get one ordered today if possible. From what I’ve seen here and on social media they look really good and the reviews have been very good. I appreciate the time, hard work and dedication not to mention your expertise, to get it all put together and published. Thanks
 
question on book. I read the description, but im not sure I get what it covers. old factory production and history of that heavy 1960s, for sure I believe is covered. what about newer models and newer steels used things like that? limited or widespread on newer factory production? what year does the book cut off at, if newer stuff is covered? thank you much...and congrats to Larry and contributors as I'm sure it was a massive undertaking. something to be very proud of.

There is very little coverage of the various models after the implementation of year symbols in 1986 -- some but not a lot. The sheath chapter, however, goes right up to current sheaths.

I ordered an autographed copy and now I see that Craig took the photos, so shouldn't he autograph it, too? Asking for a friend.
