Being new to the Luger world, I also downloaded the e-book on Luger
mechanics. The color drawings and explanations of how the gun works are useful for
newcomers to the subject, and they are printable on a color printer.
Issue: I downloaded the e-book on my wife's computer, as she has a color printer (Mine
is B/W.)and found that I could not later move the e-book to my computer because of their
password protection scheme. I contacted H&L Publishing and they made an
"exception" and provided me with a new password so that I could move the program
to my computer upstairs. Not a big deal, but I contacted them again and asked about
recovery when I buy a new computer next year. They returned an e-mail saying that they
would provide me with a new password at that time. That might be okay as long as they are
in business . . . . .
I believe H&L is a French company, and the English is a little awkward in a few
places but not a real problem.
I have since downloaded their book on DWM Lugers; and I agree with John, the books are
a bargain, as Luger books go, at $5.95 each.

review --- (John Sabato)
John, I'd sure like to see these volumes, particularily
the last one. But, without a printer (or computer for that matter) I can't down load them.
How much to run me a copy of yours or print off another from their site? Thanks, Tom

You have very unique circumstances that these books were
not designed to accomodate. These books were intended to be viewed only on a computer, and
not with a web device such as WebTV...
The page content must have a place to be stored so it can be viewed by the proprietary
browser... when the e-book is executed.
Unless you have purchased the book, to give you a printed copy would really be a
copyright infringement...
Didn't you say at one time that your family had a computer, but you just stayed off of
it and used the WebTV so you wouldn't have to compete for screen time? I think you may
have to get in line for a couple of hours of time there to see this book.
While printing from the e-book application is an option, there is paging done, and each
of the web pages that makes up the book is multiple pages long... This means that both
text and graphics get broken up across page boundaries and although readable, it won't be
very pretty and won't bind very well into a book... Perhaps these books should be
available in a printed version as well, if you are listening H&L...
But if that is what you want, I can "buy" you a download, and print it out.
Check your email...
-John

Subject: H&L ebooks review
I have downloaded the three books on the Luger pistols by
Gerard Henrotin. I can wholeheartedly recommend all three to firearms enthusiasts whether
or not they have a particular interest in the Borchardt and Luger. The illustrations are
superb, so much clearer than the often dull photographs used in many page books, and the
development of these historically important weapons is told in an interesting way. I am a
military illustrator and can fully appreciate the effort M.Henrotin has put into his
illustrations. The ebook format is very easy to use and extremely good value.

I have all three of your books on the Luger (P-08) pistol and
have found them to be very helpful. The first one gives the best description of how
the pistol works that I have seen. The other two are also very good places to
start to learn about the variations produced.

Subject: Re: happy to see that you succeeded
to buy our ebook.
The book was all that I expected and I would like to again thank you for
your help and support in being able to finally downloading your ebook.
In the book it gives the name German small arms markings, This may be what I
am looking for since I could not positively identify the Luger I purchased. The bottom of
the barrel is stamped with the crown N and serial number 5138 and either a small letter g
or possibly q.
If you feel that the above mentioned book would give me the information I am
seeking
Again I would like to thank you for all the help you have given me, Its been
a pleasure doing business with your company.
Something to tell about our publications ... this is the place
