I have a question on one of these books.
The small book, "SIXGUN CARTRIDGES...AND LOADS" printed by THOMAS G. SAMWORTH December, 1936 on the copyright page. The color of the cover is royal blue in Mr Gene Brown`s Book "ELMER KEITH the other side of a western legend" the chapter on Elmer's Books how many,how valuable, page 122 describes the book to a tee except the color of the cover it states that the color is orange to be the first edition it has to have the December 1936 date on the publishers page.
The dust jacket says you had to cough up $1.50 for the book, Really if Elmer only knew!!!
The dust jacket on the other small book the cost is $2.00 also published in 1936 by the same company
The blue book Big Game Rifles & Cartridges is a 1984 reprint of the second one.
Gun Notes one & two.
Shotguns by KEITH  copyright mcmlxvii
SIXGUNS and HELL I WAS THERE.
Can anyone tell me what I have,Bindery copy,Presentation copy, recovered original I don`t know.
