The Parker Story arrived

[King Cobb]

Well my copy of TPS arrived today. I guess DGJ sent it by stage coach. Anyway, barely into it and am enjoying it greatly. I have a blemished set, though for the life of me I have not found any blemishes yet. I have read Best Guns, Parker: America's best shotgun, Gamefield Classics, and The Gun Review Book. I also have Muderlak's 1st book on the parker but as it arrived the same day as TPS, I will have to wait on it.

I don't yet know what will fascinate me more, reading the book or figuring out what makes the 2 vol set blemished....

They aren't "blemished". They are an honest effort for Mr. Cote to get into another price point without destroying the retail value of this wonderful book. It is hard to lower the retail price of an item and then raise it back up and maintain your market. Thank you to Mr. Cote for making it easy for us. The "blemished" back issues of the DGJ are in the same category. Take advantage.

A fine book(s), amazing amount of effort & research. Got a "blemished" set myself and sent a set to Geoff Gournet for inspiration, who amazingly did not have one.
