What a small world it really is - he held a book signing at our now long-defunct little jewel of a gunshop in Bethesda MD when the book came out. I snagged three signed copies, two for myself (one to stain up with gun oil & grease and one to "shelve") and gave the third one as a gift.
The reviewer in Dave's Washington Post article, Bill Smart, was a member of our hunt club on MD's Eastern Shore for some years. He would occasionally bring Angus Phillips, the "hook and bullet" sports columnist for the Post over to hunt. I forever wondered why Smart, a Style section writer, was given the assignment to review McIntosh's book. Over time the virulent anti-gun culture developed by the Post explained it all.
