I still get Guns & Ammo and Shooting Times, the subscriptions are incredibly inexpensive, and gives me some idea about what ZBX454 firearm internet posters are writing about, since it's evidently not cool to mention the manufacturer or even what type of gun is being discussed. Thankfully not usually a problem on the Colt Forum, although many here are fond of just using product codes.

I'll probably renew Shooting Times, but I'm not the target audience for Guns & Ammo, except for Garry James excellent column and articles. I can skip the first few pages of each issue about a holster that's part Lego and part Transformer, and a scope that I would have to attatch to a single-shot .22 to have a chance of lifting. But not too many seem to practice shooting anywhere but from a bench, so not a problem I guess.

I have been a book nut all my life (69 yrs) and with my love of WWII history and guns had quite the library over time. I have a used book dealer friend and he (and I) saw the writing on the wall years ago. I started downsizing my collection and he was willing to buy my books and did so over the years now. I least I was getting something for my books. I still have some and even buy some once in awhile, but the internet changed everything and not for the better in most cases.

Being a book lover since childhood, I've amassed a pretty good library and now wonder, is it worth anything to anyone else but me? The thought of taking out all the shelves, scrapping the pages and installing a big flat screen in their place is appalling. Don't get me wrong, I've also got the 80" flat screen to enjoy the movies with and the handy little Mac laptop for all things internet (can't stand much more than texting on my phone). There is something for the brain though, in holding a book, reading it, thinking on it and understanding, plus the pure enjoyment.
