If this is the John Ross novel, I, too, have it hardbound, and met him at the Soldier of Fortune Convention the year of its publication, if memory serves (debatable).
Thoroughly enjoyed it, August '96.

Yup, they reissued it recently. Although he's fictional, the main character in the book Henry Bowman grew up in the same period I did and with my father being a target shooter, I was exposed to the same culture. I even had a FFL though not a class 3.

Raising steam by Terry Pratchett, second reread of that book. Makes me sad when I realize there will never be another book written by him!

I saw some Richmal Crompton "William" books in a secondhand bookshop so had to buy them. I haven't read them since I was a child. In fact, the book I am reading now has the annotation of Happy 9th Birthday.

I've always reckoned I looked a bit like William.

Me (in about 1954):

I just finished it again. I got it some years ago and read it then. I have been rereading several of my books the last few years.
