Looks good, especially glad to see Marc is getting his heat-treating technique in hard-bound print.  But who are all them other guys?  hehe

Let us know when we can pre-order.  I assume this will be available through Horsefeathersranch?

Wow, that would be great! My first three are starting to look lonely, all tattered and dog eared.  ;D
My wife got me mine almost as soon as they came out, also from Bois d'Arc,,    I'll always cherish them!
