Very rarely do I agree with anything Bruce says, but on this I will have to.

He said that before anybody turned it into an eBook they should ask the permission of the authors. He apparently didn't like that I agreed with him so he deleted the comment.

Oh so he did say something. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why you would agree with xxx...

That's certainly an appropriate step. But the publisher may actually own the copyright. My copy was published by Blue Book Publishers Inc of Minneapolis MN, so they may have some interest here as well. Chiefly financial.

I believe Mr. Cote has them available at Double Gun Journal as well.

I read Bruce's post and agree with him without any qualifiers.

I conversed with Charlie Price last evening and he suggested that the copyright to the publication "Parker Gun Identification & Serialization" is owned by Steve Fjestad, owner of Blue Book Publications.

Either way, use of the material in it for any means other than the publication and re-publication of the book by Blue Books is protected by copyright law. So, I think Steve should be approached about an e-version being made available, both as an "app" and as a searchable program for PC's.

I emailed them and received a reply to my question of an electronic version of the book. I was told one doesn't exist from Blue Book Publicationis and one at the moment, not planned.

John, did you speak with Steve himself or someone who is speaking for him?

An easily accessible e-version would be invaluable to folks at gun shows or gun shops, looking to buy an appealing Parker where a quick verification of its configuration is a very necessary tool. My copy is about dilapidated enough that I rarely take it out of the house anymore and besides, it is very cumbersome to lug around at a show. How nice and convenient it would be to have the app on my smart phone where I could search by serial number.
