New Lee-Enfield .22 R.F. book and 2nd Ed. Lee-Enfield SMLE 1903-1989

[Lance]

Greetings All

The Lee-Enfield .22 R.F. Rifle book is done and printed. Originally cut from my first book due to it becoming too large for me to handle it is a continuation of my COVID sanity project.

This book is 242 pages with around 1,000 pictures in a similar format to the first book. It covers from the beginning of the .22 R.F. in the commercial market through the N.9 Mark I, many thanks to all that helped me with the models I do not personally own.
By request it is in hard cover with glued spine and heavy weight paper.

With my first edition SMLE book selling out and a small list of collectors wanting a copy I have also reprinted a few, also in hard cover, which was one of the biggest complaints. I have also retaken about 30-40% of the photographs and 8 pages have been added.

This time I changed printing companies to see how their quality is and they also offered hard cover service. Overall I would put their quality on the same level as the first company. One problem which I have to accept partial responsibility is some of the all page photos appear to have fuzz around the rifles. This was very disappointing as I was hoping that the full page pictures of the rifles would be much more attractive. This let down is due to reduced file size during conversion to pdf and cymk color, for this I apologize.

Due to inflation and the hard cover binding the new .22 R.F. book is $90 and the 2nd Ed of the SMLE book is $95. PayPal F&F or regular PP +6% is the best but Zelle/personal check/mo works too. If you want to send funds via PP please let me know your user name there

Shipping, I hate paying for shipping and I know you all do also but unless you want to pick up a copy in person it has to be done. All the options are a bit confusing so I hope I have explained it below adequately.

Coming out of my hiding hole just to say the new book and the hard cover edition look sweet Lance. Congrats and thank you again.
For those that might hesitate, Lance is a top notch guy and no doubt 100s of hours must have gone into those two books... so he deserves all the encouragement he can get.
Additional information is always beneficiary when collecting.

P.S. oh and in case you are wondering... YES Canadian shipping is that expensive (can't say for other parts of the world, but ya...)
