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.

Check out the Colt books if you think the Parker books are expensive. The trade edition is $375 or so and the leather/limited edition is in the thousands.
The Parker Story is worth every penny. For the others, just stake out Ebay and a good buy will come along

Mills,
Is this the colt book you are referring to?
http://www.amazon.com/The-Book-Colt-...dp_ob_image_bk
The 3rd edition is $110. The 1st editions in leather are $800-$900 on amazon.
This is what I wish they would do with the superposed book and others, rerelease them in newer editions. If they are going for what they are going, there is obviously an interest in the books. Newer editioins would allow the originals to mostly hold their value while making them more affordable for others and maybe making the authors some money.
