Once again , Hopefully July, does not sound like a plan buy just another excuse. I hope to get it but my hopes are fading, to many promise dates and no results.

Received a reply to my latest e-mail about shipping date
"Hi. The current hope is that it will be shipped by the end of September, as we have had a lot of delays.

Thank you,

Heidi

Absolute crazy, it seems they are always why they cannot do what they have promised, they are giving Sept now I hope but doubt we will ever see book, just promises.

I can’t believe the criticisms of Daniel’s and Joanna’s herculean efforts to get this final volume finally published. If folks only knew the obstacles they have had to hurdle, the speed bumps that continue to pop up in their path…

Me?…. I’ll remain patient, fully knowing it will come when it comes in spite of all the obstacles…. Sheesh!

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.
