    Gibson's Notebook

    Years ago I read Julian Hatcher's superb "Hatcher's Notebook" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoy Larry Gibson's posts here and it seems to me that he has enough experience and hard won knowledge to write a "Notebook" of his own. If he did I would surely buy one. It would be nice to study his work in one volume as opposed to a little bit at a time thread by thread.

    Larry thanks so much for sharing your knowledge here and please write a book!

    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

    Easy enough, we trick him. We pose the right questions as a set up, he'll write it one good post at a time.

    That would be worth more than most others on the subject. Do it Larry!

    I am in on this too. Larry has been good enough to take the time to respond to a few pm's of mine and has helped me a great deal.

    It would save me a bunch of hunting for articles and then printing them off myself. Every time I have to re-learn how to do that copy/paste/scan stuff. I have 2 copies of his Smokeless loads for Trapdoors, and one saved in the computer. C'mon Larry! Audie...the Oldfart..

    Count me in. He has offered me advise in the past which I followed and I value his opinion.

    I have often considered trying to grab bits of info from this site,printing for reference,saves much time over search.Mr Gibson is one of several that I would buy a "this how I do it" guide.Lots of info here,I read it and then can never find bits of info that I need! I'm down for a copy! lreed

    Yep, me too. Larry, Leadman, Bullshop. Shoot, there's a YouTube channel right there. Film it in some diner. Just eaves drop on the conversation while they all go toe to toe with biscuits and gravy.

    Ben's would definitely be a photo essay. Always great photos there with commentary.

    I'd buy one too. Being "old school" means too much is missed when the information is only documented one post at the time. "Searches" are most often too narrow in scope, meaning too much closely related useful material is lost "out in the ether." It would be much better to have the wisdom documented in one place, like somewhere on the bookshelf over my reloading bench.
