Not for me I'm afraid, but I can't miss this chance to ask something about it, if I may. I assume from the title that this is set at regimental level, so is this a tactical, rather than grand-tactical ruleset? What is the figure:man ratio?

Fire & Fury rules are brigade based. These offshoot rules move the tactical level down to the regiment.
The book explains figures are mounted on stands - 3 infantry, 2 cavalry etc. Infantry & cavalry are at 1:40. A regiment has a variable number of stands 3- 20 to reflect historical unit sizes.

The books are beautiful - lavishly illustrated with miniatures that are used to explain the rules.

The rules themselves are moderately dense & evidently prized by the ACW cognoscenti. I've read but never used them in a game. When we moved to the ACW, I pushed for these but my group went with Pickett's Charge.

So, I thought to get rid of them as I'll never use them.

NO REASONABLE OFFER will be rejected.

Thanks, Donald. I've heard several gamers at my club rave about the AWI regimental variant, and just wanted to know what all the fuss was about. At 1:40 ratio, I don't think they're for me (having written scenarios for British Grenadier at 1:5!), but they do look well-produced - I hope you get a good offer for them.
