Subject: New Book

This showed up in the mail Friday. T. Gray Curtis and I have been in contact for about a year now and talked about the book and I was able to help him out with several photos. Searle, who has first credit had died before the book was completed but had compiled a lot of the research material before realizing he was in over his head and asked Gray to write it. Gray sent me the book as a thank you. I'm reading it now. It is a bit over sized. Bigger than a normal hard back and smaller than a coffee table book. You can hold it on your lap or put it on a table but holding like a regular sized book gets old fast.
The book is about submarine salvage not going into the submarine loss as much. Lots of new photos and many original drawings to help understand the processes of salvage.
