I trust BASA is doing well and going from strength to strength.
When I published my first book, African Dangerous Game Cartridges, in 2011 I also offered a Collector’s Edition to BASA Members. It was a limited edition (50) of canvas-and-leather-bound books with gold foil title heads, in a slipcase and number dedicated to the BASA member on a special certificate bound in.
My second book in the series of four (4) books is: African Medium Game Cartridges and it will be available from the printers towards the end of April.
It is a hard-bound, 496-page, full-colour, large format, coffee table quality book in the same style as the first book. It offers data for 7300 loads for 39 cartridges in the medium bore (.270, 7mm, .308 and .303) class. It also provides extensive dimensional, specification, historic and analytical discussions and is profusely illustrated with 380 excellent pictures. BASA members can order from me for R 950 a copy via my email address: adventure@aimshow.co.za.
I will also offer a worldwide Collector’s Edition of only 50 African Medium Game Cartridges at R 3000 apiece. As a founder member and honorary life member of BASA I feel duty bound to, through the association, offer BASA members who purchased copies of the first collector’s edition, the opportunity to also acquire same numbered collector’s edition of the second book. All prices exclude shipping.
I would therefore tremendously appreciate it if BASA would communicate this offer to its member base so that existing collector’s edition owners can make use of this opportunity. This offer will close on 21 April 2018 and then no number specific purchases will remain possible and will be subject to a non-refundable booking deposit of R 250. The Collector’s edition will then sell on a first-come-first served basis to all comers.
Since only 50 of these books will ever be published I am also prepared to:
1. Accept non-number-specific orders for the Collector’s Edition, and
2. Accept orders for the standard edition (R 950)
from BASA members in the period leading up to 21 April. Production of the Collector’s Edition will only commence after 21 April and should be available towards the end of May. Standard editions should be available beginning of May.
I look forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Big Bore Regards
