MIDLAND GUN COMPANY – A SHORT HISTORY
Guy N. Smith first wrote for the sporting press in 1963 and over the ensuing years contributed many articles to ‘The Gamekeeper & Countryside’, ‘Shooting Times’ and several other publications.  For sixteen years he was Gun Editor of ‘The Countryman’s Weekly’. He has published 10 shooting and countryside related books along with over 100 works of fiction. His fascination with the legendary Midland Gun Company began in 1957 when he accompanied his father to the firm’s 77 Bath Street factory to buy a gun.  Four years later he had a shotgun built by this company to his own specifications. From then on he became an avid collector of Midland guns and cartridges and in 2016 he had the opportunity to register himself as the owner of the Midland Gun Company name.  It was a proud moment and his next step was to attempt to unravel the history of the Midland, no easy task as no records existed.  It was, though, a labour of love.

CUANDO TÚ YA NO (ALONSO SIERRA, SARAY)
Versos para la nostalgia de los cuerpos, la añoranza de aquello que -ahora lo sabemos- jamás fue nuestro. Chispazo fugaz del tiempo perdido, siempre con el ansia de la vuelta, del regreso de los días de gloria. Cuando el mundo no era más que un verso de Neruda y el alma dolía sin saber por qué cualquier noche de verano.? RODOLFO SERRANO ?Supongo que a ella le ha servido escribir estos poemas, que habrá obtenido su tregua, pero tú no la vas a tener cuando los leas, porque es una ráfaga constante. Saray te ametralla, juega a tiro al blanco y tiene tantas balas, o poemas, que te va a dar seguro. No sé si es mejor que leas o que agarres un escudo, que leas a pecho descubierto (como mandan leer) o que lo hagas usando un impermeable contra la desolación, porque te vas a mojar, te van a dar caza, vas a caer. (...) A mí me gustan los libros que me cuentan mi vida, que hablan de mí, como el psicólogo que tras analizarte te dice qué te pasa. Este libro seguramente te cuente estas cosas.? MARWAN
