Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

I own Johnson's, Baer's, Ed's Old Reliable and the Parker Story. I can say that of them all, I care for Baer's the least. A bit too quick of a read for me compared to Ed's Old Reliable. I think that was a well written book and enjoyable to read. Obviously Baer's book was limited to the information that was available at the time. Johnson's is a classic since it is the first book on the subject and in most ways kind of got the collector interest going.
And Hand Down TPS is the best of course by way of technical info, research and photograpy.

Brian, you are missing the best buy in Parker books other than TPS. Ed Muderlak's Shooting Flying is the most entertaining of any of them and is available on ebay for next to nothing. We should all own and read that book. Ed's Old Reliable is mostly a compilation of articles we have already read. Shooting Flying is all new material, well researched and full of fun photos.
