Jeff Cooper's "C Stories"

[Slingster]

I visited last week with Jeff and Janelle Cooper in Paulden, AZ, and their daughter Lindy in Phoenix, and was told that Cooper's new book titled "C Stories" is scheduled to be available for sale by the NRA Annual Meeting in April. I thought some of you might be interested to get advance notice.

The book consists of essays organized into four sections: War, Hunting, Guns, and Diversities.

In addition to the regular hardback edition, there will be a leather-bound and signed special edition of 100 copies. The regular hardback is $50, and the special edition is $250 ($10 shipping/handling for each).

Wisdom Publishing is accepting advance orders on both editions, and several of the leather-bound ones are already spoken for. If you're interested, send a check or money order to:

Wisdom Publishing
1840 East Warner Road, Box 238
Tempe, AZ 85284

If you're buying a leather-bound special edition, you can request a specific number (first come, first served, of course).

I'm not sure(I've been wrong once or twice)but I think the book is "sea" stories, like sailors/marines tell about thier adventures. I've never seen the book so it could really be "c" (as in "combat"?) stories though. If Cooper wrote it, it's probably worth reading in any case.

Backwoods:

"C Stories" is wordplay on "sea stories" and I presume "C" refers to "Cooper" as in "Cooper Stories" as well as referencing his service as a United States Marine.

Kinda/sorta right/wrong all at once? Damn, I'm good/bad!

Thanks for the update and am glad to know that "C Stories" should be out soon. I had read it was coming soon in his "Commentaries". I have most of his books and some are personally inscribed. I always enjoy reading his writings.

Also glad to know Col. Cooper and the Countess are still there at the ranch in Paulden. I was there back in '78 (In the last century) and the Sconce was being built but not yet occupied. Being taught pistolcraft under the most watchful eye of the master is one of the high points in my life.

Update: I've just heard that half of the special edition leather-bound books are spoken for, so if you're thinking of one, now's the time to order.

NEW UPDATE: Lindy just told me that two-thirds of the special edition are sold. The book will be on sale at the NRA Convention in a few weeks, and I would expect the rest of the special editions to sell out there, if not before.
