The Falcon Has Landed

[kcghost]

I recently received an email from Kathy A. Worth who is the granddaughter of G.L. Hunt. Hunt was the Chicago business who first secured the distribution rights (1948) and later the manufacturing rights (1956) of the Falcon pipe. Anyway she said that her book about the Falcon and her Grandfather are now available to Kindle users as an ebook. Cost is only $2.99 )I assume plus taxes).

Awesome find! Just purchased it for my Android. I am a fan of falcons and I study engineering. I like how much thought and design seems to have been put in these pipes. Looking forward to reading!

Bought it a couple of days ago and read it -- very well done. Most interesting story, well written. Lots of pictures and even some blueprint-type drawings. Now all I have to do is FIND my Falcon - it's in a box somewhere downstairs!! Lived in the same house for 42 years - can't find a thing!!

Yeah I'm a quarter way in and it's definitely interesting. Unfortunately Kathy Worth decided to write the book in the narrative of herself discovering her grandfather's past. Which involve lots of badly written, stereotypical fishing-with-grandpa kinda stories. If you skip those it's a good read. For 3$ I ain't complaining.
