"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Dr. Douglas Strong (Talbot) announced on AA that his new book will be available soon from the Freelance Academy Press.

This book sounds awesome!   8)

I feel like this book has been coming out for years... much like Toby Capwell's book of English Armor!

I’ve got some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket.  It’s either Doug’s book, an inexpensive kettle hat, or an All Best Stuff riveted aventail.  I’d like to know where this book is going to land $-wise.

Then I’ll have to add postage to and from Sir Wolf’s house so he can ask Doug to sign my copy too!   ;)

Sure guys, I'll sign your books if you really want me to. 8)

Heh. Unfortunately, I don't think my signature is worth quite as much. ;)

No offense, but it's probably worth just as much as Dr. Strong's, unfortunately in our society PhD's signatures don't hold much value, but if you're famous for being an idiot and rich, well then it's worth a fortune! :)

If you try to sell me a TOMAR with Brian Price's signature in it, I'm knocking the value down
