EDIT: Violating copyrights scare me to death. None of these books are going to be for sale but I'd be happy to share information with anyone on this forum. These are some really great old books. If anyone has any input on them I'd be glad to hear it. Most of these are older than the eldest forum members.

This is a collection of old books I have on guns.

Date unknown, guessing 50's from dates in book

The Book of Rifles

Thanks,

OK not much interest in anyone *paying* for a CD so for the good of the forum does anyone know where I might upload and post these on the internet and I'll GIVE them to forum members for FREE??????

To help you keep out of trouble here is a link that gives a good explanation on what is under copyright and what is in the public domain. You need to review each of your books and figure out if copyright laws apply. If they are in the public domain you are good to go but if they are still under copyright you could get sued. I'd be worried about Hatchers Notebook since it is still available in print. Here is the link:
