Don't Shoot! Shotgun!

[Ric]

As I'm sure some of you know, Betts had a Dolan's Cadillac for sale that had been damaged by a shotgun blast during a domestic dispute. Well, that story was too much to pass up, so I grabbed it.

This was originally offered by Stu at Betts in 2002 and I do vaguely remember seeing it back then, so the opportunity to get this now was a no-brainer for me.

The best part of this book though is the custom traycase that was crafted to hold it. It is absolutely gorgeous and one of the best traycases I've ever seen.

Well, enough yakkin', here are the pictures:

The damage. Apparently three pellets hit the book on the top and one of them caught it clean and did the most damage.

Thanks for posting the pics - I was wondering what the damage looked like. Definitely a bizarre story

Curious, how much did you pay for it? That is, if you don't mind saying.

It's right on Betts' page: $150.

Sorry, I assumed the sale took place a while ago. Not a bad price at all. Plus a very nice traycase for it. Way to go, dude!!!

I love it! I expected a little bit more damage though. I hear shotgun, I think ... BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Excellent item, excellent price. Good job friend. :)

"damaged by a shotgun blast during a domestic dispute!" :shoot::rofl: I wonder if the book was shot by someone who got tired of their mate buying books? "I told you honey buy one more book and you'll be sorry!":shoot::lol::rofl:
