Dave - you have this book? I just looked it up. It's a $500 book. Maybe I better change the title under my name.

Yes, I do have a copy. I'll have to double check. I know I didn't pay $500 for it.

After checking, yes I did see the price on Amazon for just under $500. This is obviously someone who has a copy and wants to rip off someone else. The new list price for the book was $29.95

I did find one LFS that had it listed on their web site, but call first, because it looks like the book is in very short supply. Here is the link - (offsite) - ESCOBAL* Aquatic Systems Engineering

Well, now that's more like it. At that price I just might have to buy it.

Maybe you can buy 2 copies, and sell the second one to that guy that wants $500?

I sure hope they reprint the book. It's excellent, especially for the high end DIY person.

Doc,

If you posted a link, I wouldn't have to jump all over the place!!!

Is that your Porsche?

I have merged the thread "ReefDoctors Library & Bibloigraphy" with the general thread on books to read. This keeps the information together.
