Classic O'Connor
New Book, Now Available!
 Many of you have
expressed an interest in the second O’Connor anthology I have been
working on the past year, and indeed a number of recipients of the
newsletter have specifically stated you wanted to be notified when the
book appeared. Those of you who made such a request will be notified
individually, but I also felt the book’s publication was worthy of a
special e-blast to newsletter subscribers.
O’Connor was, without
question, the greatest of the 20th century gun writers.
Articulate, opinionated, knowledgeable, and always interesting, he left
a substantial literary legacy in the form of a dozen or so books. Yet
much of his finest writing never made it to books but was instead
published as articles in the popular outdoor magazines of the day. Most
of this material appeared in Outdoor Life, which employed him as
their go-to gun guy for decades, but he also wrote for Field &
Stream, Petersen’s Hunting, True, and other publications. He even
wrote under a number of pen names.
In Classic
O’Connor, a sequel to The Lost Classics of Jack O’Connor,
more than forty of his great stories, none of which has previously
appeared in book form, have been carefully selected to reflect the
diverse interests and wide-ranging knowledge of the man. The book
includes a Foreword by his son, Brad; an Afterword by a close friend in
his later years, Buck Buckner; and an Introduction, Note on Selection,
and other material by yours truly. I also made the selections for the
book and did the editing, with plenty of assistance and input from Chuck
Wechsler, the Editor of Sporting Classics magazine.
Running to more than
400 pages, the book is illustrated by numerous photos, many of them
never previously published, and is a “must read” for all O’Connor fans.
I have the trade edition in stock at $35 plus $5 postage and handling,
and of course I will be glad to sign and inscribe copies. There is also a
limited, slipcased edition, and I expect to have a small number of these
to offer for sale (at $90 plus $5 shipping) in two or three weeks. I
will take advance orders for those as well.
Order online now through PayPal, or by personal check made to me and mailed to 1250 Yorkdale Drive, Rock Hill, SC 29730.
