I've read a lot of O'Connor and we have hunted sheep together from Alaska to Mexico. In addition Keith is well represented. It's interesting to not the differences between the two. Jack liked lighter faster bullets and Elmer the bigger the better. Seems I remember a Keith quote along the lines that a 375 made for a good prairie dog rifle. I've shot deer with both the 270 and a 375 both worked well.

I much prefer the look and feel of a book, no tablets :nono

Books, especially first editions, much like our old Parkers and other guns, have a certain... 'soul' I guess. I wouldn't waste my time reading a great old book on an electronic device.... That's just me I guess.

I have enough trouble navigating this computer I can't see myself with a Kindel It would end up at the rifle range where I could test O'Connor VS Keith with a 270 and a 500 express rifle

I greatly enjoy Gordon McQuarrie for his story telling that takes you there with him and the president. Ted Trueblood for his story telling and the practicality he works into them. Francis Sell for his knowledge that was earned through experience and his old time story telling. Gene Hill for the way he expresses what we do so well. Burt Spiller for his ability to take me grouse hunting when I cannot go myself.Townsend Whelen because I love those old Springfield custom rifles.
