As I’ve gotten into forging the hero and the reluctant partisan, I’ve been thinking about giving a copy of one or the other as Christmas presents to a small group of close friends. At the pistol class, I think You said books could be purchased directly from You. Is that correct, or is Lulu the only game in town? Does it matter either way to You how I purchase them if I decide to gift them? Lulu is still the simplest source. I don’t really keep extra copies on hand anyway.

Getting bucked off is no big deal, but getting bucked off hard enough to get injured will rattle anyone’s confidence for a bit. You just have to get back on and rebuild. ———————————————— Hi John, I figure a year is long enough to wait so as not to be a pest, but can you post a link or reference to a manual of arms for melee weapons, particularly for spears and similar implements? Thanks That’s fair.
