and I asked:
Oh, I think I had read that excerpt before, probably on Amazon.
Is the rest of the book as tense as the first chapter?

I'm only up to around page 100, but, so far, it slows down after the first
chapter and now it seems to be building up again. Which stands to reason,
because that's the way books like this are written.

It's interesting to me partly because I knew, and worked with to a limited
extent, some of the people he talks about. He was the NRA liason for NJ
when
I was involved with the fight over our assault-rifle ban. The people he
talks about were the guys running the show here in NJ.

Where I am in the book now is where he describes what happened with Bernie
Goetz and Roy Innis in New York. Fascinating stuff.

Too bad it's not released onto www.gutenberg.org yet.

That takes 75 years after the author is dead. Hang in there. g

It takes great patience to be as cheap a SOB as I am, Ed.


I have an editor's review copy, which I have for a reason, or I'd send it to
you when I'm done. I may or may not do anything with it. I've been talking
to Feldman. Just remind me in a week or so and I'll let you know if I need
to hang on to it.

Excellent. Will do. My non-fiction stack of must-read books is down
to under 3' tall now. I can see my dresser again. (Time for more
bookshelves and to sell my old books. I'm up to about 300 to go.)
