What did I get for gunnie related Xmas loot?
Bupkis.
But that's ok. Last year I got the 1950's book about guns of the year. A compendium of magazine articles. And they LOOKED for stuff like that again for this year and just didn't find any. It's great to know they are looking.
Ooo! I haven't plugged the 50 year old electronic reprints of Guns Magazine lately. I love reading those. I forgot to check on November, so I better head over there and look at it now before January comes and bumps it off the list. Article for 1959... "Guns and Gear for IndoChina." I wonder what is happening in IndoChina? Something with the French. Shouldn't concern the US, much, I figure...

It turns out if you go looking up an SF writer from the golden age
(and it's always somebody's golden age in SF), you might get an unexpected
bonus.

Heh, seeing the 1950's prices on firearms would probably make me weep.
And yes, I know if you corrected for inflation today's prices are probably an incredible bargain in comparison, but still....
$34.95 for a 1911. But how much was an ounce of gold in 1959? $35?
If I had an ouce of gold to spend on firearms today, I'd get a decent 1911...
I read your review of Monster Hunter International, and got a copy for each of my daughters - now waiting for the youngest to finish it so I can read it. Great Christmas present!
