Sharp book - finally ready!

[Jirushi]

Hi,

I've been silent on this great forum for about half a year, because I was writing a book about my favourite airgun brand, Sharp.
Having a fulltime job as a veterinarian, I decided to write in the early mornings, when my ladyfriend was still asleep.
It was a fun project, and I received info from many people all over the world.
In April, I went to Japan to visit the old Sharp factories, and to meet a former Sharp employee, Mr. Ebisawa.
He was Sharp's barrel maker for 3 decades, from the early seventies.
Although Sharp is no more, their airguns are still valued by many shooters and collectors, and I thought it was time to give the brand some serious attention.

I had 80 books printed, all numbered and signed. The book launch was at Kempton Classic & Vintage Arms Fair in the UK, on 7 July.
Over 50 books are sold, but the rest is now available through Protek Supplies in the UK.

Kind regards,
Louis

Very great Louis!

Pretty awesome, but Sharps are a bear to get in the US.

Maybe share some pics of the Sharps you might have? We like pics.

Thanks gents.

There are lots of photos in the book

Yes, lots of great photos and extensive research. And well written! A must have for the Sharps collector or enthusiast.

Nice job man. Will have to get a copy.

Thank you gents.

The book is almost sold out; sales via Protek went much faster than expected.
I believe there were about 4 left on Friday. Then the 80 books are all gone.
If you can't get a copy, don't hesitate to contact me, preferrably via sharpairguns@gmail.com; I might do a second print.

@20cal, your great book about Sheridan was an important inspiration for me. Thank you also for your feedback, during the writing process.

Cheers, Louis
