Thought I would show anyone who hadn't spotted it, would look good in a collection :)

This is a great book - I have a later copy signed by Brock himself!

Fair to say though it's mainly a historical work with only limited practical information.

Still one for the collection though and a rare beast - not aware that there have been any copies produced.

Great book for history, but of little use for anything modern, i have the later copy which is basically the same but of different colour, they fetch around 80 so this should go for double or more! Recently on ebay alot of the pyro books have been going to book collectors however for thier rarity value rather than for us pyros to enjoy :o(
