Default A Passion For Grouse

My copy arrived in yesterdays post. Had a chance to skim through and read the intro. Looks like many enjoyable sessions in the reading chair will be required to get through this one. Anybody else get theirs?

Some have sent PM's asking where to get the book, here's the site.

It comes with a beautiful DJ. And a copy of the complete set, 1969-1972 of George King's "Grouse Cover" newsletter.

Angel is right, very nice DJ. Any true Grouse hunter who has collected the other famous authors is missing out if they don't add this one to their collection!
The 30 page interview of George King by Art Wheaton is worth the price of the book IMHO.

A thirty-page interview with George wouldn't be a difficult task. I have spoken with George on a good number of occasions and time just seemed to slip by as we discussed everything "Grouse" under the sun. Before I knew it we had been talking for nearly an hour and every moment was delightful! I'll cherish those talks and will certainly miss them.

Mmmm... I like the embossed boards even better than the DJ.
