I am having a hard time with the new book, just too similar to the other book, Big Bore Revolvers. A LOT of the SAME articles and photos. Just my opinion but if you are going to write another book at least write ANOTHER book. I can't read thru a complete chapter without seeing an article or picture from the first book.
I did reuse some material as it was actually more applicable to this book than Big-Bore Revolvers. Frankly, if someone interested in handgun hunting who has not read Big-Bore Revolvers, this book should catch them up and offer a complete and comprehensive look at the topic. That said, there is lots of new material. This book was designed to stand on its own without forcing someone to refer to my first book. I made a conscientious effort to include all that was germane to handgun hunting.
This is the book I wanted Big-Bore Revolvers to be without the publishers' constraints, limiting me from more hunting references. However, I beg to differ as there is a LOT of new material there. Of course there are similarities as I'm the same guy doing the writing. Should I rewrite my work on terminal ballistics if I have already researched the topic and tested it thoroughly? I don't think so and quite frankly I don't know anyone in the business who would or does. It was repeated because it is germane to the topic at hand.
Sorry you're not happy with it, but I knew it would draw criticism from some. I personally think it's my best work.
