Farmer's Steaming Manure Pile of a Book.

Mr. Farmer

I read it again last night for the umpteenth time. Thank you from putting together your time and effort towards the book. This resource has been a great help to me and my understanding of things Krag.

Those who are new to Krags need to buy this book.

Thank you again and have a great 2017.

While I have some purely personal complaints about the writing style, the information (the only thing that really matters) is absolutely first-rate - far better than Brophy or Mallory. I heartily recommend the book, as well.

So what's the title? Just transferred a Krag to a friend, and lately Obama-nomics have put several nice ones into the LGS. May have to break my 'no new calibers' pledge.

Volume 2 is 90% done. Has been for a couple of months. It'll be out before summer. How soon before depends on writing block. Well, let's not call it "block" as it's general laziness. Which is so much better.

Dick probably won't like the writing style....

I have another book done but it's part of a two book set and that same laziness is affecting the second. Not same genre though. I want them done by summer also but we'll see.

was my favorite book i 2015

I got to say I actually like the writing style. And the information is more than complete. It is .. global .. universal .. galactic! Whatever!! When I get back from Thailand, I'll write something up for the "books" forum here. Keep up the good work, 5!

Sorry Joe... I still haven't ordered a copy, a mistake I hope to rectify this week!

So what's the title?

It's a quote from the book. I only use in a respectful way.

"steaming manure pile"------some how that does not sound like a compliment to me!

See Part 14 where Mr. Farmer (Praise be Unto Him*) talks about others wirting a Krag book. The word came from on high and is written in the Book. "Make it entertaining, too. Refer to my book as 'Farmer's Steaming Manure Pile of a Book.' I'll chuckle."

Best regards.

What will Volume 2 cover? (to differentiate it from Vol "6") My apologies if this has been already discussed.

[Dick Hosmer]

I've been waiting for him, but, if I understand the situation, the Krag book (V6) was - due to demand - pushed out earlier than orginally intended. Some years back he embarked on a truly massive data-gathering "research" project, involving such things as patents, OD personnel, material supply contracts, etc., forming a sort of grand matrix, of great interest to him, but probably not as "popular" a topic as the Krag. I do not know if he plans any other weapons specific books, and I do not know which number (1-5, or 7-?) of his planned series is to come next. It is a monster project, AFAIK done more as an intellectual exercise than anything else. He'll have to give us the specifics, and clean up my effort at explanation.
