All publications are bound with glossy color covers and we print on at least 20#, 92 bright, high quality, acid-free paper (except as noted in the listings). Also, if you have an old catalog(s) or a good reprint(s) we would like to copy it in exchange for a reprint(s)- but please write or call first, don’t just send it. Reprint quality varies greatly depending on the condition of the original and paper they used. If you are disappointed, return your book for a refund. Thanks, Abby Cornell Mouat QUALITY: All reprints are printed on at least 92 bright, 20#, acid free, white paper and the images are the best I can reproduce with the latest digital equipment and software available. All covers are heavy semi-glossy (or high gloss) high contrast paper and are printed in color unless otherwise stated. Catalogs printed in color are so noted. Keeping in mind that I reprint over 3500 different old gun catalogs and gun manuals, each reprint necessarily reflects the quality of the original or copy I work from. Not all are perfect by any means. By definition ephemera, especially as it refers to old advertising catalogs, was meant to be temporary. Many old catalogs were printed on poor quality, thin paper with cheap inks that bled. They suffer from stains, rips, bleed- through, fading and a host of other problems. Not all can be restored to original condition (although some can be made to look better than they were when they came from the printer). I also work with both old reprints and old photocopies. Why? Because where else will we find some of the most rare old gun catalogs I offer? I do, however, replace poor copies with better ones if they become available. Also, don't forget I don't charge much either. Irrespective of "quality" or rarity I charge based on size, cost to acquire, reproduce (color ink is especially expensive) and advertise. (See Guarantee below). ERRORS and- dada dum… MISTAKES: Each book is printed to order and is hand bound. I regret that, on occasion, I make a mistake. Despite my best efforts, sometimes dates are wrong or something gets printed upside down or backward or the printer fails or something completely unforeseen happens. Mea Culpa! I am very sorry but I confess I am a real live human person not a huge, anonymous, error-free machine and things happen. Don't panic and please don’t use threatening or deprecating languages when you describe the problem- just send me an email- [email protected]. I will fix it and send you a new copy for free and you probably won't even have to bother returning the bad copy. There, isn't that better? Regarding dates, I publish over 3000 old catalogs and 600+ manuals. I date them using the best tools I have but sometimes they are wrong. I depend on my customers to help me here and guide me to more accurately date things. If I am uncertain about a date, I state that the date is c18xx. That is short for “circa” meaning “about”. So, if you see an error, please let me know so I can fix it. Again, it isn't the end of the world, please treat me respectfully. GUARANTEE: Anyway, all the foregoing is why I offer a money back guarantee. If you don't like it, I'll give you your money back. Of course, I don't do that too often with the same person! So, please don't be shocked, aghast, left breathless or, my favorite "very disappointed" if you get a very occasional catalog with pictures that would not be acceptable to put in Double Gun Journal. It was the best I could do with it and you are covered by my guarantee (I do try to be fair in my on-line descriptions too). LOANS: I have been fortunate that my efforts have been warmly greeted by the firearms community. So many generous collectors have shared their valuable collections of old gun catalogs with me that I cannot express my gratitude. Every week I get calls from wonderful people from all over the world who want to help. These terrific people help you too. Their loans to me mean I can keep my prices low by not having to spend as much as I would otherwise be forced to spend to acquire old catalogs. Please send me an email telling me what you have to share (pre-1985)! Many people let me give them a couple of my reprints in exchange as a thank you! (No Original Catalog is damaged, are sent by insured post and are returned promptly- references are available). Abby ALL CATALOGS ARE ILLUSTRATED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED SECTION 1.
