I dont like to "toot our horn" so to speak, but when a guy like Jon Speed reacts to the book, I thought
it might be of interest. Also a larger issue here is his wish that the knowledge get out there.
I dont know if all of you are aware, but the majority of the remaining original Mauser factory records,
documentation, technical data, engineering dwgs,etc. are held by Mr. Speed.
It is his earnest desire to have that knowledge distributed and not held in a vacuum. That in it self is
refreshing. Mike and I echo Mr. Speeds views in that nothing should be held "secret" or in the closet.
That is one of the main thrusts of this forum - the free and unhindered presentation and discussion of
knowledge relating to the subject at hand. Nuff said.

Hello Bruce,
The book just now arrived. Congratulations to You and Michael for putting together one of the best and most organized, detailed , photographed and up to date publications on any firearms subject I have ever seen!!!! Thank you for all your hard efforts on this project which makes me feel my Oberndorf 98k materials are finally being put to good use by your team! Dont forget the copy to Lockhoven and 1 extra copy I can show around here including to the owners of the DWJ publications who might be interested in a German Edition . Also please let me know the costs for the extra 2 books as well as shipping etc. I look forward to being able to contribute more materials for your next 2 books. BEST REGARDS, Jon Speed
