I do not care that they seem to always have some excuse as to why they cannot do what they say they are going to do, as I remember I renewed my subscription for two years and about a month later they decided to stop publishing the magazine, The money I sent is not the problem, it is they do not seem to have a good plan to finish the job, maybe I am wrong, As they are out of business, I do not know how they will ever get it done, broken promises only make it worse. I guess they are still trying to sell older copies of magazine, in publishing world old stock is almost worthless..

I believe you’ll be singing a happier tune when your copy arrives.

Sure would like to know what you think of their efforts after you’ve had a chance to read through it.

Hope we do get it, but very unlikely anytime soon or maybe ever, I just wish they would either do it or not, stalling is not an option, when. I heard they were waiting to sell enough for printing, that is not a good sign.

That’s the very reason they found it necessary to end the DGJ… the readership kept dwindling because of attrition due to the fact that their readership was dying off and younger folks largely are just not interested in our classic firearms.
They have sold much of their personal collections and Vol III of the Index and Reader is self-financed, not from the long-gone ‘profits’ generated by sales of DGJ.

I won’t comment on this subject any longer… doing so seems to be an exercise in futility.

Dean, just like everything worthwhile in life, if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Just sayin' for a friend.

There are many noteworthy things to fret about in life. This ain’t one of them. It’ll come when it does. Something to look forward to.

I may be wrong but I don’t think it was ever sold. I believe the Cotes were owners/publishers from soup to nuts?

Okay… For the doubters here…
This is from Daniel this morning.
I hope this answers all the questions from the naysayers.
