Get on to some book site like amazon.com on the web and search for a book called "Turkish archery and the composite bow" by Paul Klopsteg. Pretty expensive, huh

I just picked it up for $2.95USD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exchange rates and shipping brought the cost up to about $20, but that's still 10% of most other prices I've seen!

Sorry, but I'm really excited about this, coz I've been after this book for years, and now it's heading my way.

The only other place that you could get this book that I've found for under a hundred bucks is http://museum.man.ac.uk/collections/arc ... yorder.htm

Nice work - nothing beats that feeling of making a score - well ok maybe taking a trophy class (insert animal and species of your choice here). I bought two volumes of the Trad Bowyers Bible when I was in the US at a discount book store for like $5 each. They were the only archery books in the whole place. I think Buford still has them?

I got an email from the bookseller today.

"The book you ordered is unavailable, and your money will be refunded."

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah well, I'll have to save up a bit more money and get a new copy from England.

What a shame, I was getting all excited.

Just kidding ... but that's a huge bummer, mate. My condolences...
