The Philosophy of Firearms was completed in 1992. The book was marketed by Broad Reach Publishing forone year.An ad was placed in Gun Week for that year which , considering its circulation, did very well garnering almost400 orders. Unfortunately, an expensive ad in several national magazines (Guns & Ammo, Guns, Women &Guns) mysteriously failed to produce ANY orders. This surprising unrewarded expense depleted Broad ReachPublishing's financial assets so that a printed copy of POF was never created. Nevertheless almost 300 of the400 Gun Week orders were converted to diskette sales...many were sold to readers so eager to explore POF thatthey took their first steps into the computer age.I have occasionally entertained the notion that some government conspiracy was responsible for the mysteriousfailure of the magazine ads. Were orders coded to the magazine ads returned by the U.S. Post Office? Was Iunder BATF surveillance?Despite the fact that I would be immensely flattered to imagine myself worthy of government surveillance, I donot believe in any such conspiracy. I believe ads for POF simply failed to appeal to the readers of themagazines.BUT, just in case the government was responsible, I now offer POF as ShareRead.The ShareRead terms are:
•
 
If you think POF Stinks, send me an ugly note.
•
 
If you appreciate an idea or two, how about a buck 
•
 
If you uncover some neat ideas, please reward me with $5
•
 
If you enjoy the book, please remit $10.00
•
 
If you think it outstanding, $20 would be nice.
•
 
If you want to see it printed, forward $2,000 (I'll even send you 50 autographed copies)Mark A. Laughlin1740 Harbor Place, 32AS. Pasadena, FL 33707If there is enough interest, I will write an updated edition covering the Weaver and Waco assaults.
