The Emma Gees by Herbert McBride

**arkshooter** · 03-26-2012 10:09 AM

I was delighted to find McBride's book, the Emma Gees on Gutenburg. For those who do not know about the Gutenburg site, all books on it are free It has been around a spell, and the books are available in several formats including PDF and Kindle. McBride also wrote "A Rifleman went to War" the best book on sniping in WWI.

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.

I tried to download A Rifleman went to War from your site. But all I got was the book cover. I have owned the actual book for years and years, but I would love to have it in PDF format for my office computer and my Kindle.

I just clicked on the PDF file to test it..

It downloaded fine for me, although it is large at 223 Mb in size.

So, I don't know what the problem is that you are experiencing ...

Sorry Badger, all I get is the cover.

Postscript; disabled my firewall and managed to open it.

I don't know what to say ..

I just checked it again and it's fine ...

I'm on an Apple Macbook Pro, so I'll check it on a Windows machine running Internet Explorer, although I don't know why that would make any difference...

I assume you guys are clicking on the PDF file entry and NOT the smaller pic of the cover?

Regards,
Doug

Edit: Ok, I just checked using Windows machine running Microsoft XP and Internet Explorer. It works fine. I "right clicked" on the large book cover pic and clicked "Save Target As". It's a 223 Mb download, so it will take some time unless you have very high speed Internet.

Ok, finally got it. Right clicked on large picture, then clicked on "Save Link as" Took a spell ...@20 minutes, but I have it. I was wondering now if "Storm of Steel" was out there for free also.
