Easterly Lewis Gun book availability

[Jc5]

Does anyone know if the book "Belgian Rattlesnake" by Easterly is still available anywhere at something close to the original price? Prices for used copies are well over $300, but there is one site that seems to be an author's page offering it for sale less than $100. The site is unsecured, so not sure if it is legit. Any advice on tracking down a copy at a reasonable price ($100 or less)? Any news on whether it will come back in print? Digital copies for sale?

Thanks

Have you contacted Collector Grade Publications for advice?

I don't go to unsecured websites.

Blake Stevens died this year. I do not know if his company, Collector Grade Publishing, is still viable.

Peter L said his wife is selling what’s left but I think he also said they (or someone with the rights) will be doing a ‘The guns of Dagenham’ reprint (https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=69005&p=462131#post462131) There is a ‘Grand old lady of no mans land’ for sale in the UK at the moment for an astonishing £500!! They are a better investment than the guns them selves.


Why the Chinese haven’t started printing knockoffs of these books is beyond me.

Or if a new copy is preferred and people may wish to lie down before clicking the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-li...n=new&qid=&sr=


The postage seems very reasonable at £2.80 considering what is being asked for the book.

Check with Blake's widow Susan Fraser at Collector Grade Pubs before you pay an outrageous price via Amazon. She may have some still in stock.

I think that Brit plumber was intending to imply the same as you, Blake's widow, not Peter's wife?

/\/\ Agh yes, I should have worded that a little different.
