Ditto! BTW, Amazon can be a scary place to buy out-of-print reel books from.

Oddly enough, that book would be very high on my purchase list. Guess it will require some shopping around. I must admit Mr. Vernon, I was a bit surprised to receive a response from the author himself...fantastic book sir!

If you like that one, Steve, sell a little silver and by Vernon’s new opus, volume 2 of that book! I haven’t done a careful comparison, but I suspect most of the early factoids are repeated there, along with about everything else!
