I emailed Amazon today to inquire about the new reprinted edition. Customer Service replied within a couple of hours. They didn't know anything about it.
Pre-ordered mine!

It was a limited offer of only a certain number of reprints...first come first served...it gives me great hope if they sold out so quickly, hopefully this will expose some of the "roots" of sixgunning in the modern age to a few young folks...the one I bought will be a gift to a 14 year old who said..."I'd kinda like to get into that handgun hunting"....music to my ears!

Dixie gunworks has them in stock now ! It is the 335 p. second edition, with supplement that 1st edition does not have. I have a Wolfe publishing edition from the early nineties, 308 p., no supplement. I just recently learned of the supplement. Those 27 pages of supplement are good reading, mostly abot the .44 mag.
The price for the Dixie gun works book is $50.00 . Hope this helps !

I called them this morning. They are out of stock and have no idea when more may be coming in.

That's a good sign, at least they're selling! I pestered Palladium Press about doing a leatherbound edition a couple months ago.

Before ordering, check to see how many pages the new copy has. If re-printed from the 1st edition, you will not have the supplement, and pages will be 308. If re-printed from the 2nd edition, it will have 335 pages, and this will indicate supplement is included. I know the Wolfe publishing release advertises the 308 page edition.
Mine shipped today. Should be here the 28th (slow boat from China I guess).

Wolfe has them in stock too. Just called them to order one 2 days ago and talking to the salesman, I found out it was the 1st edition without the .44 Mag updated pages and they changed the color of the dust cover to slate gray instead of green. Their price was $55 plus about $7 shipping. I asked him about the quality of the photos in the reprint and he said they were reproductions but they were "OK." I passed on ordering one and will look for a used one with the supplement. Looking forward to a review of the Wolfe book when you get yours in the mail.
If you are referring to my comment "Slow boat from China" .... that is a 'saying' when something takes a long time to get here.... I have no idea where the book is put together.....
Origin for those who aren't familiar with the saying
. Dates me a bit I guess. I was out at our r/c club field a couple of summers ago and a vistor came who's name was Costello. I said "Oh, anyway related to Abbot?" .... Get a blank stare :roll: Yeah bad joke but .... He really didn't know them.... Off topic a bit. Tap'er Light!

Why the hell would they reprint the 1st edition??? Guess I'm not ordering a spare afterall.
Not to get off topic but I've noticed a drastic decrease in quality since most of our printing has gone off to China. All my books printed in the US are of much better quality than the newer ones from China.

I've got a printing from the '90's, that Wolf did, and it too was a reprint of the first edition.

Back in stock at Amazon, tagged at $55. Not much less than I paid for my 2nd edition.
