Back when The Book was first published on the LASC site, I printed it out and comb bound it. Then I proceeded to follow my usual procedure and read what interested me at the moment. Then it got put up on the shelf and somewhat forgotten about.
About a week ago, after reading a comment on Cast Boolits about something in the book, I decided to get it out and read it from cover to cover in order. I'm glad I did. It is all interesting and I picked up several things that I would have missed. I'm not a hunter but the history that the authors included was very interesting to me.
I thank the authors and Rick for making it available to casters everywhere.

Thanks John, I of course in getting it published in both HTML and pdf I have read the book through letter by letter many times. I printed it also and still pick it up and read various chapters. What a great coffee table book it is.

Finally was able to get time to finish the book this evening. I really enjoyed it! It was really cool of him to put it out there for people in pdf form for no charge. I would definitely purchase a hard bound copy if they ever put one out. I really enjoyed the sort of "history of why" that he had behind a lot of it.

Good read.
Answered a lot of questions I had
It's a great read so far! Thanks cbrick!
Its the first 'book' I read when I got into casting.
This should be required reading for any new caster. I just spent the last three hours reading it. Seriously good stuff.
What a wonderful boon to boolit casters! Can't thank the authors, and this forum enough for making it available. I did a fair amount of casting in the 1970s, on my kitchen table, with a bottom pour Lyman, and Keith's Sixguns for instruction.
I've got an electric pot and a ladel now and I'm going to give it another try all these years later. Casting 429421, and the equivalent RCBS mold. On a screened in porch this time.

Haven’t cast a thing yet, but figured this is the place to start
Excellent information, thank you for making it available to all!
A very, very useful book for any caster. And for beginners it is simply a must-read!
Thank you for the links.
I’m just getting started and don’t have a mold yet . It’s a good time to be reading !
That's awesome...Thanks for sharing.
Oh bother said pooh, as he chambered another round.
I've picked it up and it's a very noob friendly work! I like it!
