Any one thats is interested in Johns Book Civil War Explosive Ordnance 1861-1865 it is listed on E-BAY now.  If any one can post the link, I'm not good at it.  I was able to get one last year off E-BAY and have enjoyed it. 
It looks to be a orginial copy.

Lets see if this works.  I"m learning.

I have this book and it's a great one.  Greatly recommended for any artillery collector.  Now if everyone on this forum goes out and bids on this it might end up being the highest priced one ever! :)

Selma Brooke Gunner:
Already have my copy. Just didn't put two and two together. Great work, John. All I can say is Thank You for the info in your book.

John D. Bartleson Jr.:
Thank you for the kind comments.  That is an original book.   It originally sold for $3.50 from the GPO.   I have seen one go for $99.00 on ebay. I don't think it is worth that much.  There are some errors in the book based on what was known at the time so I acknowledge them and you will know which is which.
Regards,
John
P.S. If it has a staple or staple hole in the front cover then it was originally issued to a military EOD team.  An EODB cover letter was attached to the field guide to make it official.
