Found a copy "An Armourer's Perspective"

**Gurn** · 05-15-2015 11:10 PM

I was able to finally find this book and in paperback. During my searches all the others I could find are hardcovers and this is the only paperback I have seen. Were less paperbacks printed? Thanks to Mr Laidler icon

for his fine work.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Taking my time to enjoy every page.

. I bought two of these and now they are only showing two left in stock. $40+ shipping. I was happy with that price.

Have had a hardcover copy for ages, it seems. Did not know of a softcover version.

**Lee Enfield** · 05-19-2015 11:11 AM

bought a hardcover copy to replace the soft copy which I lent out...when the original eventually came back I now have 2 copies...

Books I actually use for reference, I've discovered its sometimes good to have a spare copy as the "user" copy tends to collect oily fingerprints...

I was starting to wonder if there ever was a soft cover produced so I emailed Mr Skennerton icon

about it. His reply follows.

"Hi from the Gold Coast,
Yes, when we did the first run, it was available in both hard and soft cover editions. Then a reprint was done in hard cover only, so the soft cover was available. The imprint year on the title page will confirm that too.
Cheers, Ian"

I sold tons of the soft covers and almost as many hardcovers for many years.
