    Thanks Glen for the book and cbrick for the PDF. This is a very nice and informative book. I downloaded a copy of it for myself, printed it out and put it in a binder for my pleasurable reading in the evenings. It will join the other books in my reloading/casting library.
    There is a wealth of information in the book. I recommend it to all casters especially new casters.

    If you already printed a copy of the book you now have two additional pages to print for a complete book. The book was missing a cover, all books need a cover so this book now has one.

    The second page to print is the index page which has changed a bit.

    Rick;
    Just as a matter of interest. I took my printed copy of the book (thanks to ALL of you who worked on this project) pages to my local "Staples" office supply store and they separated each chapter with an orange page, put a clear plastic front cover and a back cover all for the munificent sum of under $5.00.

    The book is a MOST worthy addition to my library.

    I am not into fandom but must admit that there are those I do admire somewhat. Glen is one of them. I suppose one of the reasons is we like a lot of the same molds, guns etc.

    I have always thought I would like to write but God did not instill in me me that talent. I have been a reader since I was very young and writers have entertained, educated, inspired and amazed me every since. There are a few that stick out and Glen is one of them!

    I dunno Mr. O, that seems quite well written to me. Of course it doesn't hurt that I agree with it completely.

    If nobody has recommended it, you should download the pdf file in case the website should be taken down for any reason.

    I downloaded my copy and printed it out and had it bound. Makes a VERY useful fireside book for my library! It cost less than $5.00 to have it bound.

    Site be taken down? Server fees are paid for 13 months, Next due in August. Once paid the site is safe until September 2012. Domain name fees are paid for 5 years at a time not due again until I think 2014.

    As for me just deciding not to do the site anymore, It's something I enjoy and have worked on it for 20 years. Considering it's a local gun club site I would say it's an extremely successful site that has been running at 1 million page views a year.

    In the short time Glen's book has been published the page view number has taken a big up-swing. Glen is widely known and well respected as a cast bullet writer, shooter, hunter.

    I think the site and the book/articles are safe for a while but sure, download it and/or print yourself a copy. All of Glen's articles published on lasc.us are also now in pdf if anyone would like to download or print them.

    Cbrick,
    ....in your post #43, concerning the two new extra pages, when I clicked on the new link, it would not let me bring up the sight. Is there something I might be missing? Wasn't aware that Glen's book was 170 pages +. Thank you Glen!!!! I will be using it as base to help others getting into casting, that like me are new.

    Dunno Lonerider, I got the email notifiation of your post, went to post 43 and it loaded fine. Do you have Adobe Reader? If not go to the Adobe web site, the reader is a free download. Otherwise you can use the HTML link to view it as a web site.
