    Great WW1 book find.

    Found this old copy of the 'People's War Book', autographed by Canadianicon ace Lt Colonel William Avery Bishop. So far a really good history of the war, and filled with excellent photos and illustrations. Just thought you guys might like to have a look! Any of our Canadian friends shed some light on Col Bishop?

    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.

    The only Billy Bishop "ACE" I know was from right down the road from me.Owen Sound,Ontario, Canadaicon We have an airport named after him in Owen Sound ON. The Toronto Island Airport was renamed after Billy Bishop as well. Billy Bishop was the one who shot down the Red Barron according to different sources. If you Wikipedia Billy Bishop,he is indeed William Avery Bishop "ACE". An autographed book is Canadian treasure and a great find.
    Cheers
