Question for Skeeter Skelton fans

[MeanBone]

Back in 1988 Shooting Times ran a limited edition of "Good Friends, Good Guns, Good Whiskey". It was a compilation of some of Skeeter's works. I've got a copy and love it!

They, also, ran a smaller serial numbered limited edition of the same book (100 copies @ $100 each) which in addition included pages of some of Skeeter's work in his own handwriting.

Questions:

Were the serial numbers 1 of 100, 2 of 100, etc. or were they 001, 002, etc. or were there letters involved in the serial number?

Were these 100 hundred books bound differently? I thought they were leather bound but now I'm not so sure.

Thanks for your help!

THIS IS NEWS TO ME. I HAVE ALL FOUR OF THE SKEETER BOOKS,

[ five if you count Sally Jim Skelton's book ] but never remember seeing an advertisement for a special edition such as you described, Sir.

They were definitely made. I clearly remember giving serious consideration to buy two. One to keep. One to sell later putting the $$ toward buying a gun (hoping it would have increased in value).

I got out an '88 issue of Shooting Times that was dedicated to Skeeter and found reference to the book "Good Friends, Good Guns, Good Whiskey" as a limited edition but nothing about a special run of 100 with his papers.

But . . . I know they were made.

If you are a Skeeter fan, you might find a couple of his columns here that you haven't read for a while.

Lots of other interesting reading material here also.

Thanks!
